hi, I have compiled kernel using these commands: under /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8 : make xconfig make bzImages modules modules_install make dep my loader is grub, so when typing this command grub root (hd0,6) setup hd0 it says syntax error , note that parameters of root were token from /boot/grub/grub.conf; so I made: grub root (hd0,6) setup hd0 and the system says successful. but when rebooting I have this message: can not open root device " label=/" please append a correct "root=" boot option kernel panic : vfs: unable to mount root fs on 00:00 please any help!
