I can't give any hints about it, so I think other people could help better here. my other suspicion is, you need to upgrade your mkinitrd to somehow match the installed kernel version. > Then when I booted the kernel: > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > RAMDISK: Loading into RAM disk... done > List of all partitions: > 0800 sda driver: sd > 0801 <numbers> sda1 > 0802 <numbers> sda2 > 0803 <numbers> sda3 > 0804 <numbers> sda4 > 0b00 <numbers> sr0 driver: sr > No filesystem could mount root, tried: ext3 vfat msdos iso9660 > Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unkown > block(0,0) Here's my confusion. When I looked the above messages, I think that you also forgot to compile certain filesystem types. What's the filesystem type of your root filesystem anyway? and if it's compiled as kernel modules, are you sure it's included in the initrd image? regards, Mulyadi. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
