They Something that should have hit me earlier: I have an ext3 partition, but the root filesystem is reiser. If root isn't mounted yet why does it want to mess with ext3? So one guess is perhaps it is attempting to treat a reiserfs partition as an ext3 partition. > This sounds like you are seeing two problems. <nod> > Could you take a look at what modules are needed to access your root > partition using kernel-image-2.6.8-1-386?

If I understand what you're asking, the first hard disk module it loads is sata_sil and its dependencies, which from lsmod looks like just libata and scsi_mod. I know sata_sil is right in any case because I've built kernels by hand for this machine. Root is on an SATA drive. Looking at the loadmodules scripts, it is quite short in 2.6.8-1: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- modprobe -k vesafb > /dev/null 2>&1 modprobe -k fbcon 2> /dev/null modprobe -k unix 2> /dev/null modprobe -k sata_sil modprobe -k usb-storage modprobe -k sd_mod modprobe -k sr_mod ----------------------------------------------------------------------- while it's much, much longer in 2.6.8-2: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- modprobe -k vesafb > /dev/null 2>&1 modprobe -k fbcon 2> /dev/null modprobe -k unix 2> /dev/null modprobe -k sata_sil modprobe -k usb-storage modprobe -k vesafb modprobe -k font modprobe -k sd_mod modprobe -k sr_mod modprobe -k ide-cd modprobe -k ide-generic modprobe -k sbp2 modprobe -k radeon modprobe -k forcedeth modprobe -k sk98lin modprobe -k raw1394 modprobe -k dv1394 modprobe -k dm-mod modprobe -k ohci-hcd modprobe -k ehci-hcd modprobe -k pwc modprobe -k nvidia-agp modprobe -k usblp modprobe -k shpchp modprobe -k pciehp modprobe -k amd74xx modprobe -k rtc modprobe -k pcspkr modprobe -k evdev modprobe -k psmouse modprobe -k tsdev modprobe -k mousedev modprobe -k floppy modprobe -k parport_pc modprobe -k ide-disk modprobe -k lp modprobe -k serverworks > /dev/null 2>&1 modprobe -k via82cxxx > /dev/null 2>&1 modprobe -k sis5513 > /dev/null 2>&1 modprobe -k amd74xx > /dev/null 2>&1 modprobe -k cy82c693 > /dev/null 2>&1 modprobe -k ns87415 > /dev/null 2>&1 modprobe -k opti621 > /dev/null 2>&1 modprobe -k pdc202xx_new > /dev/null 2>&1 modprobe -k pdc202xx_old > /dev/null 2>&1 modprobe -k atiixp > /dev/null 2>&1 modprobe -k triflex > /dev/null 2>&1 modprobe -k sc1200 > /dev/null 2>&1 modprobe -k cs5520 > /dev/null 2>&1 modprobe -k cs5530 > /dev/null 2>&1 modprobe -k generic > /dev/null 2>&1 modprobe -k slc90e66 > /dev/null 2>&1 modprobe -k rz1000 > /dev/null 2>&1 modprobe -k piix > /dev/null 2>&1 modprobe -k cmd64x > /dev/null 2>&1 modprobe -k hpt366 > /dev/null 2>&1 modprobe -k hpt34x > /dev/null 2>&1 modprobe -k alim15x3 > /dev/null 2>&1 modprobe -k trm290 > /dev/null 2>&1 modprobe -k aec62xx > /dev/null 2>&1 modprobe -k siimage > /dev/null 2>&1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I guess this script is generated during the install (I didn't mess with initrd and just built in the root device drivers)? One thing that bothers me is that it attempts to modprobe both sata_sil and siimage (the ATA subsystem driver for this chipset, I know it all too well). I have vague memories that these two never played well together in my own kernels and I always had to dump one or the other (I converted a Gentoo system from ide and siimage to libata and sata_sil, and I once had the silly idea I could build a kernel that could boot either way). Maybe I just didn't know how to do it, but that's another random possibility. > If you can't get anywhere could you send the output of dmsg and lsmod > from kernel-image-2.6.8-1-386, and from the initrd image of > kernel-image-2.6.8-2-386, find . and the loadmodules script.
