I've been trying to get one of the 2.6.0-test kernels to work for a while now and have been having no luck. Latest attempt was that I compiled 2.6.0-test11. I compiled in ext3 and HPT366/37. My root partition is /dev/hde1 and is ext3. The kernel boots and recognizes the HPT366 controller just fine, but it doesn't actually ackknowledge ide2 and ide3 as it should. It only sees ide0 and ide1. This results in a kernel panic: Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(33,1) This has been working fine with 2.4.20. I tried coping the .config directly and doing "make oldconfig". I've started from scratch. I've toyed with booting off-board chipsets first (which doesn't seem to apply anyway), and I'm just stumped at this point. Any ideas? this is an Abit BP6 dual Celeron system. /dev/hda is ide-cdrom (seen at boot) /dev/hdb is ide-scsi zip-drive /dev/hdc is ide-scsi cdwriter (seen at boot) /dev/hdd is an ide-disk /dev/hde is an ide-disk (attached is my .config) Thanks in advance for any help. :) -- Rahsheen Porter
