Kernel panic

Kernel panic

[Hanno Böck]

I have a PC with an Athlon CPU, which has problems with newer kernel-versions. (see lspci-output below)

If I want to boot current Knoppix or Mandrake 8.2beta3 install cds (both based on kernel 2.4.17), it says:

Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:05

It worked fine with the older mandrake 8.1 with kernel 2.4.8.

Any ideas? How can I help to fix this?

Here is lspci output:

Try passing ide=nodma during install and following reboot(s) then fetch a patch
at:
http://inet6.dyn.dhs.org/sponsoring/sis5513/index.html
, apply, recompile, install.

SiS730 support should be OK with latest patches.

Lionel,

Please add your name to the Maintainer List for the SIS5513 chipset code.
As you have the hardware and testing it and answering questions, for what
it is worth imho, you have earn the right to put your name there.

If no show-stopper bugreport comes in in the following days, I'll submit a
patch (marked sis5513.c v0.13 final) with debug mode deactivated to lkml,
you and Marcelo that will address this.

So lkml SiS chipset owners, please stress the 20020304_1 patch
available at:
http://inet6.dyn.dhs.org/sponsoring/sis5513/index.html

As I lack test reports on some chip generations, if people with a SiS530,
540,620 or SiS5511,5513 chip would take the time to mail me test results
with this patch, that would be perfect.
