Hi

Up to 2.4.19-rc1 my system worked fine but 2.4.19 and 2.4.20-pre1 produce
the following message at startup:

Mounting root filesystem
ide-floppy driver 0.99.newide
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k ide-cd, errno = 2
hda: driver not present
mount: error 6 mounting ext3
pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed: 2
Freeing unused kernel memory: 108k freed
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.

I have no idea what causes the problem since I did not change the kernel
configuration.

The system configuration is as follows:
Athlon XP 1600+
Asus A7V266-E (VIA KT266A)
512MB RAM
hda, hdc are IDE Harddisks

Any suggestions welcome.

Compile in hard disk support

Both options below are set to "yes" in the kernel configuration:
   Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk/cdrom/tape/floppy support
   Include IDE/ATA-2 DISK support

what type of IDE controller is in this machine?

Is there any other error message above the startup message you quoted?

If you have multiple controllers one possible source is that the
controllers are being identified in the wrong order. This is an
enhancement in 2.4.19.

The machine has 2 IDE controllers, the standard onboard controller of the
VIA chipset and an onboard Promise IDE Chip which can be switched to RAID0/1
mode. I use the Promise controller in standard IDE mode.
A DVD-ROM and a CD-Writer are connected to the Promise chip as hde and hdg.

No, there are no other error messages prior to the extracted one.

Best regards, Peter.
