FC 8 on Acer 4520

["Jagadish Kavuturu" <javesh.jax@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello every one,

This is my laptop's configuration :
---------------------------------------------------------------------
ACER 4520

Toshiba MK1637GSX     /   SATA 160GB   HDD

AMD X2
TK-55 @ 1.8 GHZ

2 Gig RAM @ 677 MHZ

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The installation [fc 8 / 2.6.23.x.fc ] goes smoothly but when i reboot the machine, this is the error i get :

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting from the kernel.
Red Hat nash version 6.0.19 starting
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
No volume groups found
Volume group "VolGroup00" not found.
Unable to access resume device (/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01)
Mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root'
setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory
switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

When i go into rescue mode and i "chroot" to  /mnt/sysvolume, i see that linux is installed just fine.

I tried passing the folllowing kernel parameters : [From the release notes]

noirqdebug ide3=noprobe ide4=noprobe apic

acpi=force
irqpoll





ideX=ata66

But its of no use.

I believe its an issue with the kernel modules. [ libata / ahci ]

Should i recompile the kernel / initrd image ?

I get the same problem with RHEL 5.1 Desktop.  [ 2.6.18.x.EL ]

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Javesh
