kernel panic after upgrade to 2.6.20.1-1
Hallo,
I have very strange problem. I upgraded my system last night by chroot. I have new kernel (2.6.20.1-1) and I can't boot my system now. I can see:
No device to configure
Unable to mount root fs on dev(0,0)
Spurious ....(something)
It's very strange for me because my root partition is on hda3. I can' understand it.
I tried to do earlymodules=piix and no effects.
Can anyone help me?

Re: kernel panic after upgrade to 2.6.20.1-1
have you tried the fallback ?
.......
you might also try
:::
adding break=y to the kernel line at the boot menu, then whjen it breaks ...
echo /dev/hd* and or echo /dev/sd*
that should suggest where the devices are ....
also, you could try regenerating the images ... not via pacman -S .. but manually by
mkinitcpio -k [kernel-version] -g [image-path] -c [config-file]

Re: kernel panic after upgrade to 2.6.20.1-1
Thank you Noriko,
I tried fallback and break=y.
I did mkinitcpio -p kernel26. Could you explain your suggestion: what does option -c [config file] mean?
I tried also earlymodules=piix. I had very similar problem two months ago. I tried to reinstall my system yesterday but no results. Two months ago I had to delete sata in HOOKS in mkinitcpio.conf. Then it started to work, but now I had no idea what to do. I am working now on KateOS distro.
Have you any more ideas?
Thank you once again

Re: kernel panic after upgrade to 2.6.20.1-1
Got it solved yet?
If not, what does /etc/mkinitcpio.conf look like?
And your bootloader's configuration?

Re: kernel panic after upgrade to 2.6.20.1-1
the let's mkinitcpio load a specific config rather thasn the default /etc/mkinitcpio.conf ..
so ** -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf ** would be correct ...
i suggested to use the -c option, because i personally have a config stored elsewhere .. as i'm seem to have had /etc/mkinitcpio.conf overwritten in the past, which lead to other issues ...
