right - for space reasons, most filesystems are compiled as modules and loaded in the seond stage - you'll need to use a kernel that has all the code necessary to access your root disk statically linked. > I took 2.4.24 put the config from standart flavour > (cp /standart/config linux/.config) > and configured (make menuconfig) it and rebuilded (dep,clean,. bzImage). > Then I copied bzImage to new flavour and renamed it to "kernel". > I still get the "FATAL: Couldn't mount hard drive". > > And during startup I got: > Partition check: > hda:end_request: I/O error, dev 03:00 (hda), sector 0 > hda:end_request: I/O error, dev 03:00 (hda), sector 2 > hda:end_request: I/O error, dev 03:00 (hda), sector 4 > hda:end_request: I/O error, dev 03:00 (hda), sector 6 > hda:end_request: I/O error, dev 03:00 (hda), sector 0 > hda:end_request: I/O error, dev 03:00 (hda), sector 2 > hda:end_request: I/O error, dev 03:00 (hda), sector 4 > hda:end_request: I/O error, dev 03:00 (hda), sector 6 > unable to read partition table > > but I'm sure the disk is OK. there maybe some special driver required for your ide controller that isn't being built. when you boot your linux distribution, pay attention to the messages that come out when ide is probed and drivers are loaded. > > I copy the .config from linux-2.4.24 to flavour directory, but the two > other files (boel_binaries.tar.gz, initrd.img ) i copy from standart > flavour dir. > Is that correct? > Should I create new initrd.img and new boel... for new kernel? if there are drivers/file systems that you need that you aren't configuring into your kernel statically, you'll need to regenerate boel_binaries.tar.gz. if you're not stuck with a floppy, its probably easiest just to turn on everything you need in the kernel config. ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
