Hello, i use zipspeak ud want to compile a nwe kernel, so that all my hardware ist installed. I have downloaded the kernel 2.4.188 an speakup-1.00. Then i have done the following steps: cd /usr/src rm -r speakup* rm -r linux*tar xzf speakup-1.00.tgz tar xzf linux-2.4.18.tgz cd speakup-1.00 ./install cd ../linux make mrproper make config (i have only done the steps for speakup) make dep make bzImage mv /vmlinuz /vmlinuz.old cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /vmlinuz cp System.map /boot/system.map shutdown -r now I load linux with loadlin and not with lilo. lilo ist not on my harddisk. I have not become any errors during the compilation of the kernel. At the end was only a warning: kernel ist to great for a floppydisk After rebooting i start linux with linux.bat form the dos-prompt. My apolo speaks kernel 2.4.18 and so on. My hardware ist detected and then comes a message: can not mount /root fs Kernel panik What can i do or does this kernel not work with Zipslack (zipslack)? Thanks. Dietmar
