Any ideas?
The line of interest is
mount: error 19 mounting ext3
which is the "nash" mount command reporting errno=19 "No such
device" mounting the root filesystem. All the other errors
are because this mount failed.
Since we know the root filesystem exists some likely possibilities
are
- the ext3 and jbd modules haven't been built (you've made a
.config error)
- the initrd contains modules from another kernel version and
thus they don't load (you've mistyped the GRUB initrd parameter
or said "make install" before "make modules_install").
- you've got a dodgy modprobe utility (were you running 2.5
earlier and have retained the locally-built modprobe?)
There are lot of other possibilities (such as an inconsistent
partition table or no /initrd mount point) but they'll effect
other kernel boots too.
The procedure for a kernel build of FC2 is:
yum install kernel-sourcecode
cd /usr/src/linux*
make mrproper
cp configs/kernel-....config .config
# do any patching here
make oldconfig
# if you want to make other config choices then
# make gconfig
make
make modules_install
make install
/sbin/shutdown -r -f now "New kernel"
Give it a go without the Web100 patches to get the process right
and then go your hardest (starting from "make mrproper" after
patching, so you might want to salt away the .config from the
unpatched build).
Hope this helps,
Glen
