root filesystem

[Igor Gueths]

Hi Greg. Yes I did fix the problem with my controller, the problem was that I had only compiled in the driver which supported only a single controller, and it turns out I have two ide controllers. However, the only thing that is happening with 2.4.17 is that I get the following when booting: Modprobe Modprobe: Can't locate Module Net BF or something like that. I am now compiling the bzImage for 2.4.18 to see if I can fix the problem with a new kernel. But why would I get that error? Considering that the dependencies file was created properly, and the rest of the kernel compiled fine. It doesn't really make sense. This is why I asked about depmod in the last message. Thanks for any help regarding this!

Sorry to post so many messages, but I was looking through the boot-up messages from my kernel 2.4.17, and discovered the following: When probing for /dev/hda, I got a message that said autoprobe failed. I have a macsterdrive, and when I boot into my old 2.2.18pre21-idepci kernel, it probes everything fine, including the hard drive. Is there anything I have to compile into the 2.4.17 kernel that I might have missed? I don't think so, but you never know. If anyone is interested, I can record an mp3 of my dec-talk express reading all the boot-up messages up to the kernel panic, and then post it to the list if anyone would like a clearer explanation. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Or has anyone encountered this before and has fixed it? Thanks for the help and sorry about all the posts! I was just updating everyone as I found out new information.
