Kernel panic

Fri Oct 07, 2016 9:37 pm

I tried following this guide http://www.waveshare.com/wiki/5inch_HDMI_LCD and combined with this one viewtopic.php?f=91&t=139917 for installing my 5'' screen.

I tried solving the problem like in this answer http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/qu ... block179-6

A reboot will say 'unknown block 179,2 instead of 6. And when I run

Code: Select all

sudo fsck.ext4 -y /dev/mmcblk0p6
it says unknown sudo. I manage to log in as root, but this command won't work.

Most say it is a problem with updating, so shouldn't I have ran apt-get upgrade? Others say the SD card could be the problem, but it is a brand new 16GB one, so space shouldn't be an issue.

It ran Raspbian perfectly fine until I tried to install my screen's drivers.

I should've posted this in troubleshooting, if a moderator can move it, please.

SOLVED IT!

So the problem was from the video driver, for some reason it was bugging it all no matter how many times I tried to reinstall Raspbian. I have no idea why this works, if someone can clarify, but instead of

Code: Select all

root=/dev/mmcblk0p2
or

Code: Select all

root=/dev/mmcblk0p6 
I had to put

Code: Select all

root=/dev/mmcblk0p7
I saw the 7th thing with

Code: Select all

fdisk -l
but being a beginner have no idea what all this means.
