Description Jill Mitchell 2003-05-01 18:09:01 UTC
Kernel panicked when doing partition check. This did not happen when booting
from a stage1 cd from 1.4-rc3, nor when booting from a vanilla 2.4.20 kernel I
keep on a floppy.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot with a second hard drive attached as /dev/hde
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Kernel panic

Expected Results:  
booted into Gentoo

I can't get to it; I (currently) have no net connection from Gentoo. Search for
bugs with my name on them as reporter, I just filed one yesterday with
up-to-date information.

Here's my emerge -info report from yesterday. I changed nothing.

please post your .config used when compiling gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r3. 
 
Thanks,

I'll post my config ASAP ...having connection troubles from linux just now, and can't access the file from within windows :(

For what it's worth, I did NOT compile support for microsoft file systems into the kernel.

Comment 8 Jay Pfeifer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-05-08 03:01:56 UTC
what model of mb do you have? i going to take a stab and guess that hde is on a promise controller? if so, here is your issue:
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202XX is not set

You need to enable that.

Otherwise, please post system hardware such as ide controller(s). The sched.c bug as you have it shown is usually because proper ide support has not been compiled into the kernel or loaded via initrd if compiled as a module.

Have a good one,

Jay
Comment 9 Jill Mitchell 2003-05-09 16:32:22 UTC
Jay, 

Your comment was exactly right. I just recompiled my kernel with that change, plugged the hard drive in question back in, and have mounted one of the partitions on it.

ok, glad to hear it was fixed and was not a kernel issue but just an oversight.
