Boot Error On Customized Kernel [solved]

xboxrulz
Hey guys,

I'm getting into some trouble on my newly compiled kernel. I had no issues compiling a kernel before but I'm getting booting issues. I guess it could be some type of SATA support issue since this is the first time I had a SATA drive. However, I'm very sure that I compiled SATA support right into the kernel instead of it being a module.

This is my filesystem config:
QUOTE

CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XATTR=y

CONFIG_QFMT_V2=m
CONFIG_QUOTACTL=y
CONFIG_AUTOFS_FS=m
CONFIG_AUTOFS4_FS=m
CONFIG_FUSE_FS=m
CONFIG_GENERIC_ACL=y
and this is the boot error:
QUOTE

VFS: Cannot open root device "sda2" or unknown-block (0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0)


My OpenSUSE kernel works just fine, i don't understand why mine doesn't.

Seems to say clearly that /dev/sda2 is a corrupted filesystem.
Did you try to boot on a Knoppix LiveCD, to see /dev/sda2 is available, and if you can mount it ? Or at leas make a fdisk -l on it ?

lol, I'm stupid, forgot to do make modules_install. Now it works lol.

It couldn't find the SATA module to control the hard drives. Now it works once I recompiled everything back as a module and did the make modules_install.

  3. Do I Need To Set Up Any Special Kernel Options To Enable Cd/dvd Burning?
    CD / DVD Burning (0)
    If you're running a fairly recent kernel, probably not. Older kernel versions required
    scsi-emulation to be set up for the drives, but recent versions support direct ATAPI/IDE access. If
    you're using a 2.6.x version kernel, you almost certainly are ready to go. An easy way to test
    if direct ATAPI access is available is to install cdrecord (mentioned below) and issue the command
    Code: $ cdrecord -dev=ATAPI -scanbusIf your drives are mentioned in the scan output, you're
    ready to go. 2. How can I burn CDs/DVDs under linux? Burning Software: GUI: xcdroast: an....
