I already compiled another kernel for my machine with 2.4.22 under Suse and I had no problems with it. I lloked up the config on this one and i got most if and just removed what I didn't need, so I was sure that it should work. When I got this panic I assumed that it was a problem with GRUB. The kernel panic told me to provide a valid root= entry so I did that. Actually my first kernel version contained a configuration error which caused the panic but I didn't see this right away and included the root=/dev/hdd1 option for booting. then I reconfigured the kernel and I knew that it should worked but I still had this root option inthe grub config and this caused the panic afterwards. I don't understand why because the filesystem is on /dev/hdd1 and therefore a root=/dev/hdd1 shouldn't cause any problems if it is there, but when I add this option again then my kernel panics. >Now you say, that your kernel panics, I'm not sure where you are at the >moment, because if you get message to secify a correct root=, then we are >still in grubs part, if you managed to pass that and now we have a kernel >panic then you are a ste further. My kernel now runs fine. It seems I had two reasons for panic. The first one was a wrong kernel configuration and the second one was the root= value. When I fixed the configuration I still had the second reason but I still fail to see why this causes a kernel panic. >a) sis chipset agp support >b) sis chipset ide support > >Be a little more precise where you encounter the problem(kernelpanic) , >maybe messages before, and which sis options in kernel you used and what >else you thought you configured that you think has to do with sis. I used both of them because my motherboard has sis chips an both. -- Gerhard Gruber Maintainer of SoftICE for Linux - http://sourceforge.net/projects/pice Fast application launcher - http://sourceforge.net/projects/launchmenu -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
