Hello All,
I just compiled the latest kernel 2.6.16.11 from source and its created a vmlinuz-2.6.16.11 file along with a link vmlinux in the /boot folder. Since 'make bzImage' only creates a kernel image, the 'make install' was used finally to get it into the boot folder for grub. In grub's menu.lst, I configured the kernel as /boot/vmlinuz and root=/dev/hdan where n is my partition and its the same entry as in my existing kernel entry. The image entry is #shed as there was no img created. When I boot into the new kernel, after a series of initial text, it gives a kernel panic at the root= entry. Its the same as before so why can't it mount the VFS on that partition? It cannot recognise hdan. (n is a number)
Any clues?
Regards,
Rony.
