Kernel 2.6.6 and a ReiserFS root not booting

Message

Hi!

I compiled a 2.6.6 debianized Kernel source for my P2 and got a Kernel panick caused by being unable to mount the root filesystem (ReiserFS). I don't know what to do!

The last config I tryed made the screen ilegible, but I guess it's still crashing while mounting the fs. I compiled ReiserFS in the kernel, tryed also compiling a module and using mkinitrd but no sucess.

I disabled all SCSI support, does it have anything to do? (I have no CD burners or SCSI hardware)

Any ideas?

Thanks
Ismael

you have some needed option unchecked or checked as module

This happens a lot to me also, and always when I've checked the config, I've found that I've missed some option or compiled it as module

keep looking

(or compile all in to kernel to 'quickly' test if that's the problem)

If you want to recompile without initrd you have to compile IDE support into the kernel together with the filesystem used.

Why not just simply use something along the lines of

Code: Select all

apt-get install kernel-image-2.6-686

?
