My guess is you didn't include the correct disk drivers, or built your disk drivers in as modules <M> instead of building them right into the kernel <*>. Try selecting the same disk controller drivers in your kernel as in the generic one. Make sure AHCI at the very least is built in <*>, hundreds of boards use that for SATA.
well, I don't think if that's the case. I included all the modules in the kernel <*>. I didn't set anything as <M>, you know if the kernel is gonna get customized minimally so let all the modules be <*>
Though another thought occurs to me.

If possible I'd avoid using an initrd at all. Just build your disk controller drivers right in, and give root=/dev/sda6
I think I am using my own initrd as I use the following command to create a linux-image n linux-headers in my directory:
So, if i attempt not to use my own initrd, I think i shall not use the above command. instead I will go for make, make modules, make modules_install, copying bzImage inside arch/x86/boot/ to /boot and rename it as vmlinuzxxxxx. I also need to copy the .config file to /boot/config-versionxxxx n finally update-grub, that's all.
I am gonna try installing the kernel as you said n post the result.
Uh, when I tried to load the previous command a minute before, i got the following failures:
I think this should all be kinda relevant to the controller device drivers.
Does anyone know if there is free software that can keep 2 filesystem on remote machines , synced.
This will be part of our Disaster Recovery to keep one machine off site , which will take over should the need arise..

Hi all,
I tried setting up RAID between 2 partitions and it was success.
If I write some things on /dev/md0, both partition got affected.
Then I stop the RAID, and I mounted one of my partition and I created a file in it.
Now I started the RAID (mdadm --assemble --scan)
What I expected... (1 Reply)
