I applied the patches, compiled, and installed (all per usual), and when booting, get a kernel panic at the point VFS is trying to mount the root file system. I started working backwards to find the last kernel that would boot. I got down to ac13, and the panics stopped, but I get the following message: Checking root filesystem. /dev/hde13 is mounted. Cannot continue, aboorting. *** An error occurred during the file system check. *** Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot *** when you leave the shell. Same for ac12. I used the same config file I used for ac11 and previous ac kernels. I then decided to try the 2.4.5 kernel, which worked fine. I then applied the 2.4.5-ac1 patches, and got the above message, again. The system is an Abit KT7A-RAID w/ a 1Ghz Athlon. The dmesg output link below describes the drive configuration. The BIOS is configured to boot from the HPT-370. As part of the test, I completely reinstalled the 2.4.4 kernel source, applied the ac11 patch, and my config file, rebuilt and reinstalled. All worked fine. Any thoughts on why this might be occurring? I can provide any additional information as necessary. Here are the various files: http://jcwren.com/linux/config.txt - config file http://jcwren.com/linux/dmesg.txt - ac11 dmesg log http://jcwren.com/linux/lilo.txt - lilo.conf I'm not smart enough to know how to capture the output for a kernel that panics and halts. If I can provide any additional information for resolving the problem, I would be happy to. Oh, and as best as I can tell before it all scrolls by, the kernel reporting looks to be the same between all kernels, with only the version being different. --John
