Hi Dave,

Thanks for the reply.  I've posted a jpg of the last screen at

Note the material before the backtrace.  The disks and partitions seem
correct.

I've just tried to upgrade from a slackware-2.6.37.6-huge (most drivers
are enabled at least as modules) to 2.6.39.3, built locally.   The
resulting kernel won't boot (generating an oops).   What I see on the
console is a list of the various disk partitions (sd driver) and then a
complaint about not being able to mount /dev/root.   (The older kernel
works fine-the disks using the ata_pixx driver).

My suspicion is that I've misconfigured the kernel.  Any suggestions?

Show the detail log of the oops?! Use a photo if necessary.
