kernel panic trying to boot Slackware-current on an external SSD (/ on /dev/sdc5) with kernel-huge (5.15.3 and 5.15.4)
by Didier Spaier from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5S6AC)
Tried 5.15.3 and 5.15.4, same issue. The device /dev/sdc5 (more generally /dev/sdc) has not been created when needed to switch root during the boot sequence.
However the same kernel installed on Slint64-14.2.1 allows to boot, but in this case / is on an internal drive (/dev/sdb6).
But booting with a generic kernel + initrd works in Slackware with both versions (5.15.3 and 5.15.4) maybe this can give a clue?
PS and OT: As an aside, using the huge kernel 5.15.4 swap in zram fails. it works with the generic one. To try: https://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/sl...rch-2slint.txz
However I am not too worried, not shipping huge kernels in Slint.
PPS: Follow-up in post #6.
