Marko> i just rebuilt the kernel using the following procedure: Marko> make mrproper Marko> make xconfig # loaded configuration from file Marko> make dep Marko> make bzImage Marko> make install Marko> make modules Marko> make modules_install Marko> but the result is still the same and the kernel is unable to Marko> mount the root filesystem. The command sequence recommended in the Red Hat 8.0 Customization Guide (Appenix A - Building a Custom Kernel) is: make mrproper make xconfig make dep make clean make bzImage make modules make modules_install make install You didn't do the "make clean" step, and you did the "make install" before the "make modules" and "make modules_install". "make install" creates an initrd image and updates the grub.conf file, and it needs the results of "make modules_install" to do this properly. This may not matter since you've built most things statically into your kernel, but it's worth a try. -- Ron Olsen ron_olsen@qwest.net Boulder Colorado -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
