RE: [gentoo-user] kernel panic after first boot!
hi! now i compiled the kernel manually, nearly with the same kernel configs as genkernel used, and now finally my system boots without panic! what i changed in the kernel config (from the 'genkernel'-config): 1.) i changed JFS support from module to be compiled into kernel = CONFIG_JFS_FS=y 2.) i activated the 'automatically mount at boot'-feature of /dev-fs support = CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT=y that are the only 2 differenced between the kernel-configs (i took these changes from the installation doc, from the manual kernel configuration) but actually i don't think that was the problem, that the kernel paniced... what do you think? the other thing, what is different, is the lilo-configuration! for the 'genkernel'-kernel i used the 'genkernel'-section in the lilo.conf of the installation doc. for the manually compiled kernel i used the 'manual'-section of this lilo.conf... i dont't know what this line in the lilo.conf for the 'genkernel'-kernel really does. i wonder if it is really neccessary...? it says: append=root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc maybe this caused the kernel-panic-problem? or is it, that the /dev-fs was not mounted during boot? -- martin Zitat von jan meier [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hello, do a manual kernel configuration with `make menuconfig´, then you adjust the kernel configuration to your system.

If you are really running a JFS fs, (1) would be exactly the reason for the panic. Whatever fs you are running needs to be builtin rather than a module. Gentoo recommends (2), but I ran for years without selecting this option. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area if you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

RE: [gentoo-user] kernel panic after first boot!
what is the cause of this? just before the kernel panic usb was detected. but what in the process of usb detection causes the system to hang? i have nothing attached on my usb-ports, keyboard mouse are on PS/2... What kernel? What hardware? Do you have ACPI or APM enabled? ACPI is known to cause problems on some system. Are you using a kernel config that you know should work for your machine?

RE: [gentoo-user] kernel panic after first boot!
Are you using a kernel config that you know should work for your machine? i did no special kernel settings, just used genkernel with gentoo-sources... I would double check the resulting kernel .config file (I am unfamiliar with genkerner; I assume it generates a kernel config for you). If you run 'make menuconfig' in /usr/src/linux you can look at it, and perhaps change it where needed. Removing support for hardware you don't have reduces possible problems with auto-detection. but i am wondering, why is usb-storage and hid hardware detected during booting??? That is puzzling indeed... Unless it is compiled in (not as a module). Gwendolyn. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Removing support for hardware you don't have reduces possible problems with auto-detection. thanks for your help so far... i will check the .config file. removing not neccessary hw-support is ok, but i don't want to remove usb-support, because i may use usb-storage and/or hid hardware in the future... maybe it is because i used a gentoo 1.4_rc4 livecd 3 stages ? but i don't think this is the problem... but i am wondering, why is usb-storage and hid hardware detected during booting??? That is puzzling indeed... Unless it is compiled in (not as a module). i will check if it is compiled in the kernel or as modules, maybe the other way will help a bit...?

Hello, do a manual kernel configuration with `make menuconfig´, then you adjust the kernel configuration to your system.
