That's a correct assumption. The assumption about which options you don't

OK, done. Crashed. Almost identical to the first post in this thread.
And keep backup copies of each working .config file as you go merrily
whittling away, so you can fall back to something other than back to
square 1.
I keep all my spares in /boot/safe.

I assumed there was no need for a 1001 modules for hardware i don't
have.

I assumed there was no need for a 1001 modules for hardware i don't

to that.
fyi, sound card problems when updating to 2.6.30 seem to be common.
Typically the boot msg is something like unknown hardware
initializing by guess method
The fix seem to be just to run alsaconf and follow the prompts.

Well, whatever changes you made to .config fixed the original panic,

Why not copy over the .29 config and run make oldconfig?
I thought of that, but isn't there too much difference in the
versions? I read somewhere that taking to big a leap between versions
is unsafe. Not to mention the great whack of new options. If you do a
diff -y between the two configs

To me, that looks like /dev/sda1 (which is what the kernel is using as
root=) doesn't contain any of the following:
/sbin/init
/etc/init
/bin/init
/bin/sh
Noting that the kernel output implied that it was an ext2 filesystem,

Nope. I get the exact same panic.
Setting CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XATTR=y doesn't help either.

Do you use 'make oldconfig' to generate the .config file for your new
kernel? I'm getting the impression that you did the menuconfig thing
from scratch, but maybe I'm wrong?
