2.6.2-rc1-mm2 kernel panics on my machine. I believe that it is related to software RAID based on the kernel output. Unfortunately I do not have the complete output since it locked up at boot time. The kernel panic output ran off the screen. Below is what was on my screen from top to bottom (minus alot of numbers), and below that is my current /proc/mdstat and /etc/raidtab. thanks, Jim Faulkner my transcription of the kernel panic ------------------------------------- printk autorun_devices printk autostart_arrays do_open capable md_ioctl md_ioctl blkdev_open dentry_open filp_open md_ioctl blkdev_ioctl sys_ioctl md_run_setup prepare_namespace init init kernel_thread_helper Code: (a bunch of numbers) Kernel Panic: Attempted to kill init! my /proc/mdstat --------------- Personalities : [linear] [raid0] md2 : active raid0 md0[1] hdc1[0] 123539392 blocks 4k chunks md1 : active raid0 hde1[1] hda1[0] 234436352 blocks 8k chunks md0 : active linear hdh1[1] hdg1[0] 63512704 blocks 128k rounding unused devices: <none> my /etc/raidtab --------------- raiddev /dev/md0 raid-level linear nr-raid-disks 2 chunk-size 128 persistent-superblock 1 device /dev/hdg1 raid-disk 0 device /dev/hdh1 raid-disk 1 raiddev /dev/md1 raid-level 0 nr-raid-disks 2 chunk-size 8 persistent-superblock 1 device /dev/hda1 raid-disk 0 device /dev/hde1 raid-disk 1 raiddev /dev/md2 raid-level 0 nr-raid-disks 2 chunk-size 4 persistent-superblock 1 device /dev/hdc1 raid-disk 0 device /dev/md0 raid-disk 1 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
