The reference to your swap partition is because the system is trying to check if you did a suspend to disk. If the swap partition has the flags that show you suspended to disk, it will try and resume from disk instead of doing a fresh boot. The /dev/root is trying to use partition label to mount the root partition. If the kernel could access the hard drive, it would find the label. If you are going to build your own kernel, you probably should build in the drivers to access your hard drive, and your root file system. If you are not going to do that, you should get to know how to use the mkinitrd command. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
