Solution 1

You must enable module ata_generic and module ext4 in menuconfig. The option are:

CONFIG_ATA_GENERIC=y: http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/ATA_GENERIC.html
CONFIG_EXT4_FS=y: http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/EXT4_FS.html

Solution 2

It appears you did not build (or, install) the kernel modules. That should be a "make modules_install" step, after the main compile. Check out http://www.howopensource.com/2011/08/how-to-compile-and-install-linux-kernel-3-0-in-ubuntu-11-04-10-10-and-10-04/ for instance, for ubuntu-like platforms, or state your distro and what commands did you run to compile.

I rebooted a compiled kernel 3.1.0, and those are the errors that I am getting:

Rebooting says: Could not load /lib/modules/3.1.0/modules.dep

EDIT 3:

This message is still getting shown after make install: /lib/modules/2.6.35.13/kernel/drivers/ata': No such file or directory

I set to '[*]' the "Generic ATA support" under "Serial ATA and Parallel ATA driver", but that's of no avail.
The kernel version is different this time, but the problem is same.

see edit, on the original question
Alien Life Form over 12 years

according to what I've read, the last make command should be: "make modules_install install"
Aquarius_Girl over 12 years

@David I did # make modules_install, it resulted in INSTALL arch/x86/kernel/test_nx.ko INSTALL drivers/scsi/scsi_wait_scan.ko INSTALL net/netfilter/xt_mark.ko DEPMOD 3.1.0 depmod -a didn't say anything. Doing the make install again results in the same error. BTW, what did you mean by Did you enable the module How to enable the module?
Aquarius_Girl over 12 years

Distro is OpenSuse 11.3.
Pedrom over 12 years

@AnishaKaul: You must enable module ata_generic and module ext4 in menuconfig: CONFIG_ATA=y.
Aquarius_Girl over 12 years

David I searched for "ata_generic" and got to "ata sff support" and option already has a *(star) in []. I couldn't find any place for "CONFIG_ATA=y". and I found "ext4" under file systems option, and placed a *(star) [] besides it. This time I rebooted and was able to login. But the warning of "ata_generic" still persists at boot time! How to solve that?
Pedrom over 12 years

The option is CONFIG_ATA_GENERIC: cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/ATA_GENERIC.html
Aquarius_Girl over 12 years

@David I'll try that. Also, if ou put all that as an asnwer, I'll select it.
Aquarius_Girl about 12 years

David, please see the edit in the question. The ext4 option worked well. But, I am not able to figure what to do for this ATA thing.
Pedrom about 12 years

@AnishaKaul: Can you post your lspci -vvv? I don't have ATA Generic enabled but PATA module? You must enable the PATA module for your controller?
