Well I just used the directions in the kernel src tree/README, i.e make menuconfig make bzImage make modules and make install (A few days ago out that it does copy modules to /lib/, boot image to /boot/ as well as edit my grub.conf or am I 'fumbling' over here) edited grub.conf coz of redhat's 'Label' and rebooted. The error I get is after 'mounting root filesystem' <error> >>>mount: error 19 mounting ext3 <<checked out .config and I have ext3 compiled >>>pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed:2 >>>umount /initrd/proc failed:2 >>>freeing .... >>>>kernel panic: no init found try passing init= <error/> -----Original Message----- From: Seth Arnold [mailto:sarnold@wirex.com] Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2003 8:29 PM To: kernelnewbies@nl.linux.org Subject: Re: Linux 2.6.0 initrd On Thu, Jul 17, 2003 at 07:44:25PM +0300, Laban Mwangi wrote: > I recently patched my 2.5.74 to 2.6.0-test, I configured the kernel and > rebooted on a redhat 8.0.
