Hi, After compiling the 2.6.0 kernel, copied the image to /boot and renamed it to vmlinuz-2.6.0. I add the kernel image in the grub configuration file (grub.conf) as follows <grub.conf> title Linux 2.6.0 root (hd0, 8) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.0 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb </grub.conf> But when I boot, I get the following error <boot-up> VFS: cannot open root device "LABEL=/" or unknown-block (0,0) please append a correct "root=" boot option kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0) </boot-up> I am currently running the 2.4 kernel which has the following entry in my grub.conf file (this boot correctly) <grub.conf> title Linux 2.4.0 root (hd0, 8) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.0 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb initrd /initrd-2.4.0.img </grub.conf> ThanX in advance -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
