Hello all:
I recently built kernel 3.2.22 and when I compile and install, I get an error, it's a vfs error and says that it can not mount the root filesystem. I'm sorry I can't be more specific, I am blind, so I had to get someone with sight to read the screen. I also built an initrd image and put that in the grub.cfg, which did not make any difference. I have posted my config here; if someone wouldn't mind looking at it, i would appreciate it.

Your config doesn't have ext4 support enabled. Are you sure your root filesystem isn't ext4?

Yeah, I looked in fstab and everything shows as ext3.

Hi,

My guess is that support for the hard drive controller is missing. What model hard drive controller do you have?

The relevant entries in lspci seem to be:
00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 02)
00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7 Family) SATA AHCI Controller (rev 02)
is that enabled already? it looks like a generic sata controler.

Hi,

Although I'm not a kernel config expert, this line in your kernel config. file would seem to indicate that AHCI support is missing: # CONFIG_SATA_AHCI_PLATFORM is not set. Here are the relevant lines from the 3.4.6 kernel config. in [core]: CONFIG_SATA_AHCI=m
CONFIG_SATA_AHCI_PLATFORM=m
CONFIG_SATA_ACARD_AHCI=m
