by I get the followint message when trying to load a new kernel :
Kernel Panic:VFS: Unable to mount root.
This happens, exactly when it should say : "partitionc check hda1 hda2 hda3"
I have checked with rdev and the new kernel does have the rigth
root device (/dev/hda3). If I change this to /dev/hda1, which is my DOS
partition I get : root mounted MSDOS is read only, should be read/write
and the system hangs.
I have played with rootflag in the zImage setting it to 1 (it was 0 originnaly)
and I saw it was 1 in /vmlinuz but that did not change anything.
Moreover the new kernel is about half the size of the old :
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 121348 Apr 2 13:43 /usr/src/linux/zImage
-r-------- 1 root root 281092 Apr 1 21:43 /vmlinuz
Finally, when I first chose SYSVIPC, when configuring it (I don't know
what it is) it would not compile :

I recompiled with disabling sysvipc
