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
After this did you copy the bzimage from , arch/ii386/boot/bzimage to /boot ?

Hi kiran,
I think this step is not required. since he is using the make install as final step it does the copy and rest of the things.
If I am wrong please correct me others.
Regarding the error:
Their may be some other errors occured before this. Please check it.
check also whether you have supported ext2 or ext3 file system during the configuration. If not you may face such kind of problem.
Thanks
