More suggestions please.

Please post your /etc/fstab output
please post your fdisk -l output


As someone pointed out: scsi and ata are merged in recent kernels
between .15 and .33: there are so  many changes, its unlikely u can run it from older distros.
 Secondly, u can boot .15 with "hda1" but newer kernels require "sdXn"
Now they use UUID for recognizing partition, though not sure, if kernel forces such requirements.
if you look at it: its not able to find "/lib/modules/2.6.33.2/modules.dep",
Which is probably because its not able to mount "/root"

Hello everyone,
 
I wanted to upgrade form Linux-2.6.15-52-386 kernel to vanila Linux-2.6.33.2 kernel from kernel.org. I compiled and installed kernel with defualt configurion (except for disabling booting from NFS)
 
Steps for compiling kernel:
 
$make menuconfig   --- to disable booting form NFS
$make
$make modules
$make modules_install
$make install
 
$cd /boot/
$mkinitramfs -o initrd.img-2.6.33.2 2.6.33.2
 
 
 
 
Following is a list of messages that I get when I try boot with new kernel:
 
modeprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.33.2/modules.dep: No such file or directory.
 
WARNING: Couldn't open directory /lib/modules/2.6.33.2: No such file or directory
 
FATAL: Could not open /lib/modules/2.6.33.2/modules.dep.temp for writing: No such file or directory.
 
ALERT!: /dev/hda1 does not exists. Dropping to a Shell!


not sure, but seems like u need to fix the partition info
/dev/hda1 may not be your root.
 
 
If this is case then same partition should not work as root for Linux-2.6.15.-52-386. Isn't it.
 
 
I'm trying all this on sun virtual box. My Linux-2.6.15-52-386 still works well.
 
Following are grub entries:
title           Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.33.2
root           (hd0, 0)
kernel        /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.33.2  root=/dev/hda1 ro  quiet splash
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.33.2
savedefault
boot
 
Please help!

People ask the question... what's a RocknRolla? And I tell 'em - it's not about drums, drugs, and hospital drips, oh no. There's more there than that, my friend. We all like a bit of the good life - some the money, some the drugs, other the sex game, the glamour, or the fame. But a RocknRolla, oh, he's different. Why? Because a real RocknRolla wants the fucking lot.
