I receive the boot error "kernel panic - not syncing : VFS: unable to mount root FS on unknown-block (0, 0)" when I try to use a 2.6.11 kernel that I compiled myself. I used: cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.11.7/ make oldconfig make bzImage make modules make modules_install make install The make oldconfig had been working with 2.6.9 but I wasn't sure whether it copied the exiting config file from root itself or whether I had to do that myself. I tried with and without copying the file just in case. make oldconfig still asked me a load of questions and since it had worked with the previous versions I just pressed enter on each. I assume that makes it use the defaults. I don't know much about what it's doing with the configs and it had been working fine until now so I tried to just leavew the settings the same. The only other thing I changed was the EXTRAVERSION in the makefile. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
