Hi, I downloaded 2.6.10 kernel source tarball and compiled it successfully by doing the following: make xconfig make mrproper make dep make clean make bzImage make modules_install (this one dumped bunch of depmod: errors about some symbols but copied the files properly to /lib/modules/2.6.xxx/) cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.xxx cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.6.xxx After that I have added an entry grub.conf file to point to my new kernel. However, I am not sure about the initrd line so I just left it unchanged (same as old entry I had already - so it was pointing to old initrd.img file still). After this when I rebooted, I chose the kernel that I just compiled from the GRUB menu but while booting it, there were few insmod errors and then kernel panics saying it was unable to mount the root fs (/). Is this because the new grub is pointing to old initrd line ? How do I make new initrd.img for the kernel I just compiled ? I have compiled the kernel with SCSI drivers builtin along with loop back support. How do I know whether all needed modules are compiled ? I see that some modules that I have compiled into the kernel also are failing with insmod before the kernel panics. Can someone help me out or point me to the proper news group ? Please let me know if you need more information. Thanks, Sarath -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
