Failing to load a freshly compiled kernel 2.6.13.1 with swsusp2 4926

Peter T. Breuer

Much. Thanks.

Interesting.

Here are some of the prior messages (with my comments in the parenthesis):

(Btw. - is there a way to access these messages (in an incomplete boot) other than to write them down on a piece of paper and then type them in ? I do not think thatvar-log-messages gets these messages.)

speedstep-centrino: couldn't enable Enhanced SpeedStep

(I do not know why this does not work (side issue - please ignore for now) :

Funny thing is that it has worked in the past with Debian stock kernels.

acpi-cpufreq: CPU0 - ACPI peformance management activated. Using IPI Shortcut mode Suspend2 Core. Suspend2 Compression Driver loading. Suspend2 Encryption Driver loading. Suspend2 Swap Writer loading. ACPI wakeup devices: P0P1 CBC0 MODM ACPI: (supports S0 S1 S3 S4 S5) RAMDISK: cramfs filesystem found at block 0 RAMDISK: Loading 1000 KiB 1 disk into ram disk... done.

(This concerns me - I have no CRAMFS support in the kernel :

# CONFIGCRAMFS is not set ) UDF-fs: No parbreastion found(1)

(Very odd, in normal bootups, I usually have an EXT3fs related message here).

Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root-fs on unknown-block(3,9)

Point taken.

Thanks :)

Hmm. You think it is attempting to locate UDF-fs (a DVD filesystem IIRC) from my empty CD-DVD drive ?

So, do I create a bootable Debian CD with this kernel image ? Getting way too complicated for me :(

Dead certain. This is the 5th 2.6.x kernel I have compiled with IDE disks on this laptop.

Consider :

All hda*'s.

Touche :)
