Hi everybody,
I have a strange feeling about what is happening:
I get the latest source code from www.kernel.org. (2.6.13.2). I put a standard
configuration in .config file. I start xconfig and put every IDE features as
module.
Then: make bzImage modules modules_install install
Everything goes well.
In the initrd, there are 2 lines: insmod
/lib/ide-core.ko
Insmod
/lib/ide-disk.ko
(I have to put them before libata SCSI support to be
sure those modules are loaded before..)
I reboot… kernel panic….(
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root
fs on unknows-block(0,0)
Ext2 and ext3 supports are built in the kernel…
By reading the configuration documentation, there
should be an IDE module…
I found an ide.o in the kernel building tree…
but this module seems not to be a .ko and isn’t copied to /lib/modules/
during make install process…
Is this a bug or a “special” features of
kernel building where ide is no more possible to be built as module ?
Best regards,
Michel
