[Bug 585258] Re: switching to external VGA monitor does not work anymore on dell precision M4400 and Ubuntu 10.04

[Lucio Crusca]

I've tried to compile 2.6.34 vanilla, but I can't get it to boot, it
hangs on "waiting for root filesystem". Here are my steps:

$ tar xjf linux-2.6.34.tar.bz2 && cd linux*
$ cp /boot/config-`uname -r` .config
$ make oldconfig
[return, return, return, ... ]
$ make menuconfig
General Setup / Local version = -m4400
Processor Type And Features / Processor family = Core 2 / newer Xeon
Processor Type And Features / Timer frequency = 300 HZ
Device Drivers / Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers *Yes / Everything *Yes except for ISA PnP PATA and  PCMCIA PATA, but those shouldn't be needed to boot a internal sata disk, right?
Filesystems / Ext2 *Yes
Filesystems / Ext3 *Yes
Filesystems / Ext4 *Yes
(My root fs is ext4)
Exit / save configuration
$ fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd binary-arch
$ cd .. && sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.34-m4400_2.6.34-m4400-10.00.Custom_i386.deb linux-headers*.deb

What's wrong? What have I missed to let the new kernel boot on my
system?
