hi all,
i have installed 2.4.20-8.i am trying to recompile the kernel by following these steps:
edit the makefile for extraverion as (SAHUTEST)( i am )
make oldconfig
make dep
make bzImage
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/SAHUTEST
make modules
make modules_install
make install
reboot
during booting i am getting an error as:
VFS :cannot open root device "LABEL=/" or 00:00
please append a correct "root=" boot option
kernel panic: VFS:unable to mount root fs on 00:00
please suggest me the solution as soon as possible!
the partition is as follows:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3 10080520 165600 9402852 2% /
/dev/hda1 505605 17957 461544 4% /boot
/dev/hda5 1004024 16428 936592 2% /home

the grub.conf file is as :
