<In the kernel config, did you select the drivers as modules, or <built-in? You can't build the disk driver as a module, since you <couldn't load the driver without it already being loaded... < <Simon.
I put an * on everything with, SATA, and all filesystems, and a lot of other things for this recompilation. and i changed file under /boot/grub/device.map (hd0) /dev/sda to (sd0) /dev/sda then ran grub-mkconfig -o /boot/boot/grub/grub.cfg again. do you think its the kernel or is something in grub that seems to be the problem? i tried to recompile kernel 2.6.30.2 about 7 times with different settings. and then i tried the newest kernel: 2.6.31.6 about 2 times with different settings and i still got the same kernel panic error. Thanks for all this help. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
