Hello, I recently compiled the 2.4.19 kernel with the following commands: (i just changed the numbers to .19 instead of .17) tar jxvf linux-2.4.17.tar.bz2 mv linux linux-2.4.17 make menuconfig make dep make clean make bzImage make modules make modules_install cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /vmlinuz-2.4.17 cp /vmlinuz-2.4.17 /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17 open up /etc/lilo.conf, point it to /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17 I might have missed something somewhere in the kernel configuration options, but upon boot it says, "kernel panic, cannot mount root partition." Did I miss a step or copy something wrong? Thanks. -Brandon
