Comments:
<whyzzyrd> wonder why dell built a machine where the power-on button goes through the mobility radeon card.
<vIkSiT> oh dang, you mean the path to the init binary. Ah
<RelDrgn> vIkSiT: yeah, thats what I meant :P
<D-side> well if it cant open the root device, you dont have a shot in hell of running init. :)
<vIkSiT> hehe, i ***umed it was an init script or some param to the kernel
<RelDrgn> D-side: he fixed that by specifying root=/dev/hda7
<vIkSiT> exactl
<vIkSiT> yl
<Cynic> vIkSiT: yeah, RelDrgn is right, i was being a bit vague sorry
<Lion-O> vIkSiT: euh euh euh
<vIkSiT> er. exactly even
<D-side> missing FS support?
<D-side> sorry, missed the root declartion
<RelDrgn> D-side: that gets a VFS panic error as well
<vIkSiT> D-side, vIkSiT RelDrgn, yeah, i made sure ext2, 3 and ATA/IDE/ATAPI were all inbuilt and not modules
<RelDrgn> how many drives do you have?
<vIkSiT> hmm.
<Cynic> RelDrgn: same ;)
<vIkSiT> one. this is a laptop
<D-side> hang on.
<RelDrgn> strange
<vIkSiT> wait, so what works for 2.6.14.2 should work for 15.1?
<D-side> this is grub, right?
<vIkSiT> yes
<Lion-O> vIkSiT: Hmm, 3,6 ?
<Lion-O> for a single HD I find that rather high.
<vIkSiT> Lion-O, exactly. something i didn't understand why ..
<RelDrgn> vIkSiT: did you copy the config forward and run make oldconfig?
<vIkSiT> no
<D-side> so when you boot, get to the grub shell, (hd<tab><tab> and find out what filesystems are in play. :)
<vIkSiT> should i have?
<vIkSiT> oh yeah, the reason i got 15.1 in the first place was because i'd accidentally deleted the old config file for 14.2
<D-side> haha
<RelDrgn> hah
<Cynic> make oldconfig saves mucho time, that's all..
<RelDrgn> the purpose was to make sure you started with the right config ;)
<vIkSiT> Cynic, er yeah - i'd forgotten to copy .config, and deleted kernel source for some simulation-disk space
<vIkSiT> hehe
<Cynic> and removes possibility of human error i guess
<vIkSiT> true
<Cynic> vIkSiT: that's NEVER a good idea! this time, leave your /usr/src/linux dir alone!
<D-side> RelDrgn: ooh. i wouldnt have thought of that.
<Lion-O> damn, bbiab..
<vIkSiT> RelDrgn, i found out about /proc/config.gz being MANUALLY implemented yesterday
<D-side> zcat /proc/whatever/kernel.gz > ~/savethisdamnyou
<D-side> or something.
<vIkSiT> Cynic, heh on a 20gb disk, i run out of space rather often :)
<D-side> oh thats the one.
<vIkSiT> D-side, not activated automatically.
<vIkSiT> anyway.
<vIkSiT> so what do you recommend i do for the new compile?
