IDE: kernel's bug ??

[Michel MENGIS]

Hi everybody,

 

I have a strange feeling about what is happening:

 

I get the latest source code from www.kernel.org <http://www.kernel.org/> .
(2.6.13.2). I put a standard configuration in .config file. I start xconfig
and put every IDE features as module.

Then: make bzImage modules modules_install install

Everything goes well. 

 

In the initrd, there are 2 lines: insmod /lib/ide-core.ko 

                                               Insmod /lib/ide-disk.ko

 

(I have to put them before libata SCSI support to be sure those modules are
loaded before..)

 

I reboot
  kernel panic
.(

Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknows-block(0,0)

 

Ext2 and ext3 supports are built in the kernel


 

By reading the configuration documentation, there should be an IDE module
 

I found an ide.o in the kernel building tree
 but this module seems not to
be a .ko and isn’t copied to /lib/modules/ during make install process


 

Is this a bug or a “special” features of kernel building where ide is no
more possible to be built as module ?

 

Best regards,
