I am unable to boot on a SATA drive using the kernel mentioned in the title. I have no problem to boot a 2.6.19 hardened kernel however. My motherboard is nForce 430-based and the 2.6 kernel uses the sata_nv driver (built-in, not as module). I tried to use the same driver on 2.4 (also built-in), but I get the following panic:
Kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k block-major-8, errno = 2 VFS: cannot open root device "sda11" or 08:0b Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:0b Apart the obvious "stick to the 2.6 kernel", what can I do? $ /usr/sbin/lspci | grep -i ata 00:0e.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP51 Serial ATA Controller (rev a1) 00:0f.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP51 Serial ATA Controller (rev a1) 03:0a.0 Communication controller: Conexant HSF 56k Data/Fax Modem -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
