Help! Kernel Panic After Installing New Kernel

Submitted by h8dk97

Hi there,

I'm using Mandrake 10.0. After I compiled a new kernel the system will not boot. The error message is something like:

mount: error 6 mounting ext3

I did compile ext3 into kernel (not as module). I also noticed that the new kernel seems to "think" of my SATA disks as SCSI. Any ideas?

Thanks a lot in advance.

SATA disks do appear as SCSI

SATA disks do appear as SCSI disks in 2.6, that's normal AFAIK. Were you using 2.4 before?

What arguments are you passing to the kernel? Is your root=/dev/blah argument correct if you consider your root disk as an sd* node, rather than an hd* node?

YOu might also want to review this thread http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/1973
