Hi, I know is an all-time asked question. But I am asking this not because I am clueless but because I am fed up of "the ubuntu way". I am done with its UID way of getting to partitions. I want to use good old days root=/dev/sda1. Can somebody tell me how to do this? I no longer want crazy make-kpkg stuff. I remember when I used to use RedHat distro (before fedora was launched, RedHat 9), things were simpler, I guess. I was able to compile and deploy the kernel even though those were *starting* days for me for linux.
