Source RPM's are used to create (in some cases) installable RPM's, other
times you build the package(s) and the result may not be an installable
rpm package. This is up to the creator(s) of the source rpm package(s).
Sometimes this equates to the same, sometimes not. With a source rpm it's
up to you to create/modify/configure/build the package, sometimes the
result is a rpm package(s) and sometimes not. With 'Red Hat supplied
sources' a src rpm can and do equate to a source rpm in the majority of
the cases, the create/modify/configure portions has already been done for
you with the supplied configuration files.

For example, I can download/extract/patch/modify/configure and build a new
kernel i386 rpm that is not capable of installing on any system(s) other
then the system(s) I choose. The corresponding kernel src or source rpm
may not have the needed sources and configuration file(s) to [re-]build
for any other system(s) then the system(s) I designed source to be used
on/with. In other words it all depends where you get the source or src
rpm(s) from and what features/capabilities the author('s)/creator('s)
design into them.

kernel panic on boot

Posted: 03 Jul 2004 05:34 PM PDT

Thanks for the response. This is a first time install on this machine,
and I haven't had luck yet. I am doing a sort of LinuxFromScratch
install. I have all needed for a boot compiled in.... even ran a diff
to a known working .config to see if i was overlooking something. I
have tried both XFS and EXT3, and on both the messages that show:

XFS: bad magic number
XFS: SB validate failed
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on hda2

Even when the / partition is EXT3, these XFS errors show.

As does:

lilo -M /dev/hda

(does not wipe the partition table, nor does it delete the boot signature.)

Use "lilo -A ..." to inquire/set the active partition; i.e., the partition
which is booted, given no LILO record on /dev/hda.

Thanks to everyone for those insights. I thought that 'kcore' had
something to do with 'kde', like 'kmail', 'kword' or other software meant
to work on 'kde'. I had
wondered if 'kcore' was not a core file coming for a crash of something
related to 'kde', even though I am not running 'kde' on my machine. It is
very easy to be fooled by file names... :)
