kernel upgrade boot problem - Please Help
|

| John Kimberly 2005-07-21, 6:02 pm |
| All,
I installed a new copy of Fedora Core 2 on a Dell GX280 with and 80 Gig
SATA disk drive.
Everything installed perfectly and booted. I then performed a yum upgrade
to get all the latest upgrades and that went perfectly.
However, when I try to boot the new 2.6.10 kernel, I get a kernel panic
saying "unable to mount root fs"
I have no problem booting back to the 2.6.5 kernel from the original
install, but I need some of the new features in 2.6.10. I have had this
problem before with SATA drives and simply gave up and went back to an IDE
drive, but this time, I need to resolve the problem.
Has anyone ever been able to boot an SATA disk with an upgraded kernel or
and custom configured kernel.
If so, Please share ---- What is the secret??
Thanks in Advance,
John

Well, I use mandrake, but sure. I have a Mandrake 10.1 with upgraded 2.6.11
kernel and it boots fine. And it has managed to read the disk if it loaded
the kernel (mind you using the bios routines).
