[Solved] Kernel panic ...

PiTiLeZarD · 2006-11-01 09:53:05

I know I'm not the only one and many issues have been solved already ! I read many of these issues already... but I think I'm in a strange case ...

I have a /boot partition ext2 in /dev/hda1, a root partition ext3 in /dev/hda2. I'm not completely sure, but I tried to follow the mkinitcpio instructions ... (why /boot files are not names with a version number ? it could be easier no ?)

Anyway my kernel boot until kinit ... the problem is the same as here

I have juste somthing different : "Attempting to create root device /dev/hda2" with a fail message ... Kernel tell me to try rootfstype but it doesn't change anything !

my /boot/grub/menu.lst is :

title  Arch Linux
root   (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/hda2 ro vga=773
initrd /kernel26.img
boot

I think it's ok no ?

When I take the base install CD and I boot into I don't have any eth1 which is my wireless extension. iwconfig says as well "no wireless extension" and /sys/class/net/ doesn't contain eth1 as well !

I've just finished to install xfce/xorg and if it could be possible to keep this installation working, I'll be happy

Try to boot with /kernel26-fallback.img. If this works, please post the ouput of the command: zcat /boot/kernel26.img | cpio -t.

OK I just rebuilt a new kernel26.img by doing mkinicpio -g after having booted on the fallback image ... And everything is working great now !

Thank you and sorry for your time wasting ! I'll check twice next time !
