Iam using Redhat linux 2.4.18-14
Now I want to reconfigure the kernel.
I have download the linux 2.4.18 from ftp:kernel.org
Ihave put the file in /home/cs0205/
There itself I unzipped the file.
Then I saw a new directory /home/cs0205/linux
then cd /home/cs0205/linux
make mrproper
I then copied /usr/src/linux-2.4/arch/i386/defconfig
to /home/cs0205/linux-2.4/arch/i386/defconfig
This I have done to have the same configuration as my
current sytem is having.
make oldconfig
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
then,
cp /home/cs0205/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage
/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18
cp /home/cs0205/linux/System.map
/boot/System.map-2.4.18
I have then changed my /etc/lilo.conf file as follows
prompt
timeout=50
default=linux_new
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
linear
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-14.img
read-only
append="root=LABEL=/"
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18
label=linux_new
read-only
append="root=LABEL=/"
Then /sbin/lilo
when I tried booting with the new kernel image, its
stopping after giving the message,
request_module[scsi_hostadapter]:Root fs not mounted
kernel panic:I have no root I want to scream
please help me!!!!!!!!!
Thankyou!
for reading the mail patiently!
