Re: Kernel panic in 2.6.19-rc1

Andrew Morton sorry I missed your reply:

To recap, I said:
FYI, I had to get CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL set to solve my
2.6.19-rc1 boot panic.
Actually, I couldn't get CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL=y to stick so I
modified kernel/sysctl.c's ifdefs.

You said:
What boot panic was that?
It depends on CONFIG_EMBEDDED.

The panic was because init died. I get an error message about unknown
library version (exact message I can't recall) and then the panic.

Again, I am running a new 2.6.x kernel on an old distribution so my
init binary or run-time loader might still be depending on SYSCTL.

I am now playing with a x86_64 kernel and saw this same problem. Your
CONFIG_EMBEDDED hint helped. I set that and CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL
stays on.

Thanks again and sorry for not attaching this to the original email thread.
