hi all, i am a newbie at linux kernel compilation. i have a hp pavilion zt1135 laptop and recently i installed redhat 8 and downloaded the latest kernel 2.4.20, compiled and installed it. after i reboot to the new kernel, i get the following message and the system hangs: VFS: cannot open root device "LABEL=/" or 00:00 Please append a correct "root=" boot option kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00 i am still able to boot to my old kernel. any help is greatly appreciated. thanks in advance. cheers, quadir. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
