Hi! I got some real good answers here, and with help from that I have made some progress in migrating to my 2.6 kernel. I still have a problem, though: 2.6.8 (nor 2.6.7) won't accept my /dev/sda partition table.
Using SRM, /dev/sda (my primary disk, where sda1 is boot, sda2 i swap and sda3 is the root file system) looks like this: ====== octavia:~$ sudo fdisk /dev/sda Detected an OSF/1 disklabel on /dev/sda, entering disklabel mode. To return to DOS partition table mode, use the 'r' command. ====== Running 2.4.20 is just fine. But 2.6.8 will report: sda: unknown parition table And then it won't find sda3, and the kernel panics. The system is upgraded to testing. Filesystem used is ext3. I have tried configurations that some of you other guys use successfully, but I get the same result. Perhaps some package in the dist needs to be upgraded here..? Anyway, this is what some parts of my (latest tested) .config looks like: ====== # # Partition Types # CONFIG_PARTITION_ADVANCED=y # CONFIG_ACORN_PARTITION is not set CONFIG_OSF_PARTITION=y # CONFIG_AMIGA_PARTITION is not set # CONFIG_ATARI_PARTITION is not set # CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION is not set CONFIG_MSDOS_PARTITION=y CONFIG_BSD_DISKLABEL=y # CONFIG_MINIX_SUBPARTITION is not set # CONFIG_SOLARIS_X86_PARTITION is not set # CONFIG_UNIXWARE_DISKLABEL is not set # CONFIG_LDM_PARTITION is not set # CONFIG_SGI_PARTITION is not set # CONFIG_ULTRIX_PARTITION is not set # CONFIG_SUN_PARTITION is not set # CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION is not set ====== ====== # # File systems # CONFIG_EXT2_FS=y # CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XATTR is not set CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y CONFIG_EXT3_FS_XATTR=y # CONFIG_EXT3_FS_POSIX_ACL is not set # CONFIG_EXT3_FS_SECURITY is not set CONFIG_JBD=y # CONFIG_JBD_DEBUG is not set CONFIG_FS_MBCACHE=y CONFIG_REISERFS_FS=m # CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK is not set # CONFIG_REISERFS_PROC_INFO is not set # CONFIG_REISERFS_FS_XATTR is not set # CONFIG_JFS_FS is not set # CONFIG_XFS_FS is not set # CONFIG_MINIX_FS is not set # CONFIG_ROMFS_FS is not set # CONFIG_QUOTA is not set CONFIG_AUTOFS_FS=m CONFIG_AUTOFS4_FS=m ====== Does anybody have a clue how to solve this?
