[solved]After moving to AMD 4200 beyond kernel doesn't boot.

Hi

I just upgraded my CPU today to AMD 4200. That menas new motherboard and whatever comes with it. The problem is that while the normal kernel boots ok the beyond kernel screams in panic

Attempting to create root device 'dev/hda8'
ERROR: Failed to parse block device name for '/dev/hda8'
unknown
ERROR: root fs cannot be detected. Try using the rootfstype= kernel parameter
::Initramfs Completed - control passing to kinit.
kinit: Cannot open root device dev(0,0)
kinit: init not found!
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

What i am doing wrong and why now doesn't boot?

Can you post the contents of your menu.lst or lilo.conf ?

This is my menu.lst

I removed the comment lines from this listing to keep the post short.

Try using  kernel26beyond-fallback.img instead of  kernel26beyond.img

No problem. If you want to use a custom image instead of the fallback one, you'll need to regenerate your kernel26beyond.img image. It's probably missing a module needed to boot your new system.

Yup.  For the record, this:

Attempting to create root device 'dev/hda8'
ERROR: Failed to parse block device name for '/dev/hda8'

indicates it doesn't know how to access hda8 - which says to me that a controller module is missing (not a filesystem module).

insane can you post the output of lsmod after a successful boot?

If i understand well, the old kernel26beyond.img had information for the old IDE chip and didn't know how to handle the new one. Am I correct?

I think so.  I'd gather the kernel26.img is missing the amd74xx module.  This shouldn't happen, and may be a problem with auto-detection.  Can you post the output of "mkinitcpio -M" for me?
