Hello,
I tried to install Cooking and the 4 last Rollings on an ACER TravelMate 632XV; but for each try, I've had at boot
[c]
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x3c00, size=0x2b4060]
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) Pid:1, comm: swapper/0 not tainted 3.2.53-slitaz #4

I think the kernel needs a driver for my HD that is not builtin but built as module.
Cooking and Rolling run well in live or frugal mode and I can access to my HD.
I wanted add some drivers in the kernel but as well as with Cooking than with Rolling, it's not possible to compile the kernel, make meets an error.
Can a developer integrate the driver for old HD in the kernel for a next Rolling? Thanks.
my HD: IDE disk TOSHIBA MK2018GAP

can you attach the output of lsmod and dmesg from the live boot - I think maybe it is just necessary to load some modules at boot in rcS.conf or in grub - http://doc.slitaz.org/en:handbook:livecd - Slitaz Parameters

Hi kultex,
Thank you for answering. I don't have any problem with live; the kernel loads the driver and I can see my HD. I have problem with full installation. Installation with tazinst is OK, all files are correctly installed.
In menu.lst I tell to grub where to find the kernel; I believe I can also indicate to the kernel to load a module (in my case and only for the ACER, I need pata_ali). And here is the problem: to load the module the kernel needs to access to the HD and to access to the HD it needs pata_ali... You see what I mean?
Here are the output of lsmod and the dsmeg.log file (from frugal install)
Offline
I think you are right...
your dmesg is not complete - please run in terminal dmesg > dmesg.txt and attach it
Offline
Here it is.

Yesterday I downloaded cooking & could only install it from a .iso image, & had to use tasinst in a terminal, after making tazinst.rc file.
It wouldn't install from my live pendrive. The last message received was 'sh: Out of memory' - this on a machine with 1.5gb ram.(?!)
Just posting to let you know in case there is actually something amiss with the installer.
Otherwise, a great distro. ::thumbs up::
Edit: I used dd to create the live pendrive which worked perfectly as a live environment.
it has to do with this config part of the kernel - I think it is just stupid to check one by one, so I have to check, which ones are necessary - like I know - for CONFIG_PATA_NINJA32 m is ok - because its a PCMCIA IDE driver
The problem is I have no time now - perhaps somebody has time to check, what the drivers are needed...

Concerning my own case, when I run Rolling in frugal install and open SpaceFM and view internal disks, I can see them as long as I don't [c]modprobe -r pata_ali[/c]
(removing other ata/pata_xxx modules has no effect)
But I suppose some other modules could be usefull for other HDs (ggg has problem with his HD too, see http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/not-detect-hard-drives)
I'm not competent enough to know what modules are essential; what I can do is to run 4.0 in frugal and see what modules were m/y or not set on it. It can give an idea, there is no access disks problem with 4.0
The problem is I have no time now
Don't worry. It's not really a priority. I'm just a little frustrated because I cannot test deeper rolling, but no precipitation; take your time and give us a stable 5.0 when ready.

This commit removed legacy IDE and PCI IDE chipset support for block devices which were compiled into the kernel.
This is the same commit where pata drivers went from not set to M.

yes I know this is my fault - but at the moment I cannot reconstruct, why I set them to m, because all the old attachments are gone - (I attached the config of 6 ? different distributions). We can set all of them to y, but I think its better to check before, which are realy necessary.
I can redo this in 10 days - not before
Offline
ok - found some time
Offline
ok - I took it from fedora and mint, thinking, when it works in fedora and mint, it should work also in SliTaz and it leaded into the smallest kernel - but ???
So I think we should try it with this config - mainly from Anitx - still the smallest and checking the drivers it looks ok
Mojo can you do it or should I ask Christophe?

@Ceel
The 3 driver modules loaded in the lsmod output you posted which enable the IDE controller are ata_generic pata_acpi pata_ali.
This kernel is compiled with CONFIG_ATA_GENERIC=y CONFIG_PATA_ACPI=y CONFIG_PATA_ALI=y in the kernel.

@mojo,
Thanks, I test it right now.

... and it works for me now. Thanks again!
Still remains the problem when compiling the kernel. It could not come from a compatibility issue with gcc?

Just installed cooking via live pendrive to an SDHC card from the web, installed OK, BUT, it made the wrong entries in grub menu.lst & etc/fstab, I had to go back in & change them to (hd0,0) from (hd1,0), & there was no / entry in etc/fstab at all.
Hope this can be fixed before release of SliTaz 5.0.
(Really like the SliTaz Spider desktop wallpaper.)
All the best.
@fatmac
There's no need for a / entry in /etc/fstab, as the root= kernel cmdline option specifies this entry. It will be mounted as /dev/root in /, as can be seen in the /proc/mounts file.
As for installing to SDHC cards, I'm afraid that's an issue you'll have to deal with for as long as SliTaz will be using non-UUID names for boot settings. I'm not sure if Legacy GRUB supports booting with UUID, and specifying the root as UUID, but if it does, that certainly needs to be changed.

@necrophcodr
Thanks for the reply, sorry didn't look at the kernel line. As for SDHC cards, I'm OK with doing it for myself, just thought it might be good for others to have it done automatically.
All the best.
