I just did my first kernel compile today! I have Red Hat 7.1, but I
came up with some problems with a network driver, so people
recommended me to compile a new recent kernel...
So, the problem is that when I boot up the new kernel, a kernel panic
happens. These are the last 4 lines written to stdout:
request_module[block-major-3]: Root fs not mounted
VFS: Cannot open root device "305" or 03:05
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:05
This is my '/etc/lilo.conf' file:
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.d
default=linux
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-2
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hda5
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.14
label=linux-new
read-only
root=/dev/hda5
The new image on the file was merely copied and pasted from the
previous one (I only changed the label and the boot image file). Oh,
and I did not forget to do 'make modules' and 'make modules_install'!
Please, any help?
