Hello,
The filesystem which your root uses may have been compiled
as a module instead of being inbuilt in the kernel.That is why kernel is not
able
to mount the root.Try compiling the FS support as inbuilt rather than
as a module from the filesystems group during kernel configuration.
OR
The device which is hosting the root FS may not have inbuilt support
in the kernel.i.e if you have an IDE drive storing your root FS then
support for IDE drives may have been compiled as a module.Ensure that
the support is builtin and your kernel will be able to read and mount
the FS.
Gurus on the list,please correct me if i am wrong.
HTH.
