I have installed 2.6.22-gentoo and performed make oldconfig from previous 2.6.21 kernel. After reboot, kernel panicked - cannot find root filesystem. I have a laptop with 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7 Family) SATA IDE Controller (rev 02) and the previous kernel worked with CONFIG_SATA_INTEL_COMBINED=y.. In 2.6.22, the option CONFIG_SATA_INTEL_COMBINED seems to be missing and I did not see an obvious replacement (also nothing has been suggested by oldconfig). What driver should be used instead? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge =gentoo-sources-2.6.22 2.make and install kernel 3.reboot Actual Results: kernel panic, root filesystem not found Expected Results: booted system Acer TM 8204WLMI, lspci:00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7 Family) SATA IDE Controller (rev 02) Portage 2.1.2.9 (default-linux/x86/2007.0/desktop, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.5-r4, 2.6.21-gentoo i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.21-gentoo i686 Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2500 @ 2.00GHz Gentoo Base System release 1.12.9 Timestamp of tree: Tue, 10 Jul 2007 06:20:01 +0000 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.33-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3, 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.16 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.23b virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4m -msse2 -pipe -fno-omit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/php/apache1-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4m -msse2 -pipe -fno-omit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.supp.name/" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/gnuradio /usr/local/portage /usr/local/overlays/erazor-zone.de" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X Xaw3d a52 aac aalib ac3 acl acpi alsa amr arts berkdb bitmap-fonts blas bluetooth bonobo bzip2 cairo cddb cdparanoia cdr cli cracklib crypt dbus dri dv dvb dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss encode esd evo fam ffmpeg firefox fortran ftp gcj gdbm gif gnome gphoto2 gpm gps gstreamer gtk hal http hwac3 icc iconv ieee1394 imagemagick imap ipv6 isdnlog jabber java javascript jpeg jpeg2k kde kerberos lapack ldap lesstif libg++ libwww lirc lm_sensors lprng mad mbox midi mikmod mime mmap mmx mozilla mp3 mpeg mpi mudflap mysql nas ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin obex ogg opengl openmp oss pcmcia pcre pdf perl plotutils png posix pppd python qt3 qt3support qt4 quicktime readline real reflection samba scanner sdl session sharedmem smartcard sndfile sockets socks5 sox spell spl sse sse2 ssl svg svga tcl tcltk tcpd tetex threads tiff tk truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb usrp v4l v4l2 vanilla vcd vorbis wifi win32codecs wxwindows x86 xine xml xorg xpm xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="radeon fglrx vesa" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Here's the change that removed the combined option (including rationale): http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=8cdfb29c0cd801 I'm assuming you were using libata (ata_piix) for your root disk, and your disk was /dev/sda or similar (as opposed to hda). Compile CONFIG_ATA_PIIX into your kernel but NOT CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PIIX If your cdrom was previously /dev/hdc (or similar), it will now become /dev/sr0. Remember to compile SCSI CDROM support into your kernel.

Comment on attachment 124505 [details] kernel .config the suggestion in comment #1 did not help; in the attachment is my .config file.
I have tried 2.6.22-r1, problem remains the same. J.P.
What is the command line you boot your kernel with? In particular, what device do you tell it to use for your root partition?
(In reply to comment #5) > What is the command line you boot your kernel with?

Is this thread related to this issue? http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/29/188
You're using both the old ide and the new ata drivers. It's possible that these conflict, and anyway I don't think it's needed since CONFIG_ATA_PIIX also supports PATA drives on the Intel ICH controller. So please disable CONFIG_IDE in your .config, and remove the hdc=noprobe option from your grub.conf and see if that works for you.
