The initrd contains an emergency shell. You're not logging into your system -- you're only talking to the initrd.

Try lsmod in your good system to have a look at what modules are loaded and post that here.

What partition types are you using, too? ext3, ext4, reiserfs, etc. You should build those in <*> as well.

well, i solved the rtc problem, some RTC kernel options were y to m, the error disappeared when i set them as y.

Now, the problem I have is this:
Code:
the disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present

and the other problem is that my file system is mounted as READ ONLY, I cannot create any files!!

any helps would be appreciable.

ahci
libahci

Are you positive that ahci is built in with <*> ?

WELL, these are all options from the .config file:

Code:
CONFIG_SATA_AHCI=m
CONFIG_SATA_AHCI_PLATFORM=m
CONFIG_SATA_INIC162X=m
CONFIG_SATA_ACARD_AHCI=m
CONFIG_SATA_SIL24=m
CONFIG_ATA_SFF=y

shall i set them all as y?

Smilie Yes, as stated before you need AHCI built in, and it's certainly not built in right now.

Don't build all of them in. You need AHCI, and almost certainly don't need SIL24 etc etc.

Don't alter the settings by hand, they may have dependencies that a text file can't tell you about. Hunt them down in make menuconfig so you know where they are.

device drivers -> serial ata -> AHCI SATA support

i did add the ahci module built-in.
Now, the error is gone, though i still get a general one:

Code:
Gave up waiting for root device
-boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
-check rootdelay = (did the syste wait long enough?)
-check root (did the system wait for the right device)
-missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
and ......
