[Please CC me on answers as I'm not an LKML subscriber] Hi, I have the following problem : based on the news that a working alsa driver had just been published and pushed 2.6.19-way, I bought a new sound card (expensive pro, if used one). Unfortunately using the out-of-tree driver fails, so its author suggested to just try building one of the 2.6.19 rcs. I used to do it a year ago or so when I had more free time. Since then my hardware changed quite a lot (so did the core kernel) and it took me a few evenings to re-assemble my build pipeline and configure a custom kernel. Unfortunately the result does not boot. Since I haven't been using anything but distro kernels for quite a long time I have no vanilla kernel reference for this system. It seems the failure occurs at md inspection time. The working distro kernel startup messages look like this: %<---- device-mapper: ioctl: 4.7.0-ioctl (2006-06-24) initialised: dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: autorun ... md: considering sdb3 ... md: adding sdb3 ... md: sdb1 has different UUID to sdb3 md: adding sda3 ... md: sda1 has different UUID to sdb3 md: created md1 md: bind<sda3> md: bind<sdb3> md: running: <sdb3><sda3> raid1: raid set md1 active with 2 out of 2 mirrors md: considering sdb1 ... md: adding sdb1 ... md: adding sda1 ... md: created md0 md: bind<sda1> md: bind<sdb1> md: running: <sdb1><sda1> raid1: raid set md0 active with 2 out of 2 mirrors md: ... autorun DONE. %<---- The failing kernels (I tried -rc5, -rc5-git6, -rc5-mm2 only print : %<---- device-mapper: ioctl: 4.7.0-ioctl (2006-06-24) initialised: dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: autorun ... md: ... autorun DONE. %<----- (I didn't bother copying the rest of the failing kernel dmesg, as sata initialisation fills the first half of the screen, then dm is initialised, then you only get the logical consequences of failing to detect the / volume. The sata part seems fine – it prints the name of the hard drives we want to use) I'm attaching the dmesg for the working distro kernel (yes I know not 100% distro kernel, but very close to one), distro config , and the config I used in my test. If anyone could help me to figure what's wrong I'd be grateful. Regards, -- Nicolas Mailhot
