I used to get these errors when I started with kernel compilation and by this I mean a few weeks back.
Where do u put the kernel source when you compile it, I used to download it and extract it to my home Directory and then the list of commands above, but it never worked.
The Solution to this problem is to Extract the Kernel source to /usr/src/ and then do the above process (make etc), may be this will help...

Hello
This time also . i just copied the .config of my running kernel to the downloaded new kernel's directory
and
did make and further steps.
and it executed successfully.
no kernel panic.
is it the right way .?
But i helplessly do it as last resort everytime
when after my all efforts new kernel panics on boot everytime.

i compiled latest kernel linux2.6.32.6
after 4 steps of
make menuconfig
make
make modules
make modules_install
make install
when i rebooted these error messages came
Unable to access resume device (/dev/sda3)
mount: could not find filesystem /dev/root'
setuproot : moving /dev failed : No such file or directory
setuproot : error mounting /proc : No such file or directory
setuproot : error mounting /Sys : No such file or directory
switchroot: mount failed No such file or directory
earlier also whenever i compiled new kernel .. i used to copy the .config of old running kernel into new liinux folder
as everytime if i create .config file with make menuconfig .. some unknown mistake gives kernel panic
i need to know how to set proper .config so that it caters to all requirement of my present machine hardware
i got to know
make cloneconfig but it gives error as
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `cloneconfig'. Stop.
make: *** [cloneconfig] Error 2
will make oldconfig work ??
what to do
