Summary: 2.5.67 won't get the real partition table for hdb
Kernel Version: 2.5.67
Status: NEW
Severity: high
Owner: alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk
Submitter: torden88@yahoo.no
Distribution: Linux From Scratch, glibc 2.3.2, gcc 3.2.2 (didn't work with
2.95.5 either)
Hardware Environment: Athlon XP 1600+, hdb is a seagate 20,4 gb,
Software Environment:gcc 3.2.2
Problem Description:
2.5.67 won't get the real partition table for hdb
Steps to reproduce: Just compile and run a 2.5.67 kernel.
When I compiled a 2.5.67 kernel (and 2.5.66, 2.5.65 and 2.5.63), during
boot it says:
Kernel panic: could not mount root fs on /dev/hdb13 (or something).
I look a bit longer up, and i see this:
hdb: hdb1
When it is detecting the partition.
I am using isolinux for booting (lilo and GRUB doesn't work).
It did not work with syslinux either.
fdisk -l /dev/hdb says:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdb1 2 2490 19992892+ f Win95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hdb2 * 1 2 8032+ 83 Linux
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary:
phys=(1, 0, 63) should be (1, 254, 63)
/dev/hdb5 2 14 104359+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdb6 15 651 5116671 83 Linux
/dev/hdb7 652 827 1413688+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdb8 828 892 522081 82 Linux swap
/dev/hdb9 893 1019 1020096 b Win95 FAT32
/dev/hdb10 1020 1529 4096543+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdb11 1530 1911 3068383+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdb12 1912 2154 1951866 83 Linux
/dev/hdb13 2155 2490 2698888+ 83 Linux
I don't boot from /dev/hdb2.
It works perfectly with 2.4.x.
