How to backup whole linux system?

Hi,

so you were able to boot your new 3.6.11 kernel. Is that correct? If yes, then congratulations. But it seems that maybe the network driver is missing. We need to know what the network device is. The output of the following should tell us.

Code:

lspci |grep -i net

Also, please post the output of

Code:

ifconfig -a

The kernel is right in 3.6.11, but seems not correct, without home directory & the other, later I will try to send the messages
to you,wait...

Hi,

I'm no kernel expert but it looks to me like your kernel (or perhaps the just the initrd) is missing the driver for vtc1000 internal storage and therefore doesn't see the device and therefore can't mount the root partition. Presumably this is some sort of flash storage.

I think this should not happen if you are using the config file from a working kernel. What exactly is the default kernel that the vtc1000 is running?

my VTC 1000 use SSD for the hardware storage, You may guess right.
The VTC 1000 was run normal in the kernel of 3.0.29, but when I upgarde it to kernel 3.6.11. It just doesn't work well

shows

Code:

02:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Platform Controller Hub EG20T Gigabit Ethernet Controller(rev 02)

Hi,

can you please confirm that you are using the 3.0.19 config file when you build the 3.6.11 kernel? If you really are, then I guess the ssd driver must have changed and you will need to carefully use menuconfig to make sure you really compile the correct driver into the kernel.

I confirm that I use the kernel version 3.2.0-29-generic-pae .
Which is the default kernel of Ubuntu 12.04 .

Ok, since this is just a default kernel config the problem you may do better starting with the config from a newer kernel. For example from: http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/k...5.0-27-generic

Sorry, I might mistake. I had download the kernel version 3.6.11 souce code. And use the .config of kernel version 3.2.0.29.
I really need kernel 3.6.11 not 3.5.0-27 kernel. But if this 3.5.0-27 got .config file. I will use it.

hiii friend

i am confused which shell scripting i chose to learn!!!!!!!
different type of shell are available like bash,perl,python, ,csh,tcsh,kron etc.

i wanted to learn shell script that is mostly used by network administrator to configuer network.because i am a beginner of linux network admin..

pls give me a proper suggestion to choose about Shell Script.

thanks in advance

I can't find the .config file form the URL that you give. Only found 3.5.0-x.deb, and 3.5.0-x.gz file.
I can't get it.

You can get it on your build machine as follows:

Code:

wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-3.5.0-27-generic_3.5.0-27.46_i386.deb
ar x linux-image-3.5.0-27-generic_3.5.0-27.46_i386.deb
tar xjf data.tar.bz2  boot/config-3.5.0-27-generic

Then you can copy that config file to your kernel build tree.

Code:

cp boot/config-3.5.0-27-generic /path/to/linux-source/.config

Then try building the kernel again.

I had done all the thing. But the reboot kernel is still the same with the previous one. Aloguth I saw the intel ethernet driver had been compile.Still the ifconfig command got no active.
