system specs: asus k8v se mobo amd athlon 64 3200+ dual sata western digital 120gb harddrives if i try to boot a kernel not created by genkernel i get this error: VFS: Cannot open root device "hde5" or unknown block(0,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) i've tried messing with ata settings but nothing seems to help. somehow i have to believe this is an issue with sata drives. for the record, everything in my kernel is built in including the drivers for my sata chipset (via vt8237) and in fact a kernel with an identical configuration would boot on slackware as i have it installed on this machine. i've also tried the kernels with and without devfs support just in case thats causing a conflict and have posted on the forum a few times and no one really knows what to do. i just find it strange that slackware with a similar kernel will boot on the system but gentoo wont. and yes grub is configured directly. also this is on a stage1 gentoo system. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install stage1 amd64 2004.1 2. compile a kernel.org kernel (or even just the gentoo sources kernel; any kernel without genkernel does it) 3. make a correct grub entry for that kernel and boot it. Actual Results: VFS: Cannot open root device "hde5" or unknown block(0,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) Expected Results: booted correctly
Have you been using the libata SATA drivers in 2.6? If so, your first SATA disk will be /dev/sda (or similar)
the drivers i built into the kernel were in the scsi low level drivers > sata support > via sata support. is libata enabled per default in a vanilla kernel.org kernel? cause i dont remember enabling libata.
this is my config (by the way its also a 2.6.5 kernel but i get the problem on any krernel version): # # Automatically generated make config: don't edit # CONFIG_X86_64=y CONFIG_64BIT=y CONFIG_X86=y CONFIG_MMU=y CONFIG_RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK=y CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG=y CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK=y CONFIG_HPET_TIMER=y CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC=y CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA=y #

Thats libata - and as your drivers are built under the SCSI subsystem, you need to be booting a SCSI disk (e.g. sda)
i've tried booting from a scsi disk (sda5 and sdb5) and those are not the proper drives. my harddrives show up as hde and hdg with those drivers.
Are you sure? How do you know, if you can't boot?
im on gentoo right now using a kernel compile by genkernel (gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.7-r6). i thought i mentioned that earlier. i CAN boot with a kernel compiled by genkernel but not with a kernel i compile myself which i find totally abnormal. the harddrives under genkernel (with libata and via_sata drivers loaded) are hde and hdg respectively.
Alright..could you post the "dmesg" output from the working kernel (as attachment), plus "lspci" and "lspci -n" outputs please
here is the dmesg output: jon@fo-shizzle jon $ dmesg ber of MP IRQ sources: 15. number of IO-APIC #1 registers: 24. testing the IO APIC.......................

Ok, basically, there are different configurations you can have. It looks like your VIA 8237 SATA controller is supported by the generic PCI IDE driver, CONFIG_BLK_DEV_GENERIC. If you compile this, then the libata SATA drivers under SCSI will *not* be able to claim the device. In genkernel, CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_GENERIC are enabled. The CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX option enables support for your main IDE controller, which is claiming devices hda and hdc (your CDROM drives, by the looks of things). The generic-PCI SATA driver is next in line, and gets given hde and hdg. You can boot from hde in this setup. In the config you posted, you did *not* enable CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX, so your CDROM drives wouldnt show up, and the first IDE controller in line (your sata controller) would start at hda. So, in your current configuration, you need to use hda to boot from. If you wanted to use the libata SATA drivers (under SCSI), you would need to disable CONFIG_BLK_DEV_GENERIC, and then you should be able to boot from sda.
ok i can hand edit the config but for the sake of simplicity would you mind telling me where those options are found in menuconfig?
SOLVED!
grep the Kconfigs if you still need to know where the options are..
options found. kernel works...thanks guys.
