Thanks! I tried reading up on this devfs thing and found something that got me a little closer: LILO: linux root=/dev/ide/part5 resulted in: VFS: mounted root (cramfs filesystem) Waiting for 5 sseconds, press ENTER to obtain a shell modprobe: Can't locate module ext2 <<I know this is *BAD*>> Kernel panic: I have no root and I want to scream I love the kernel messaging! But not the message. I suppose at this point I have to figure out what happened to my modules, or what my kernel thinks I did with my modules. Question: In order for this kernel to compile, I had to remove the modversions portion (keep track of modules by kernel version) which I've never seen before. Where is is trying to find the modules? /lib/modules/ instead of /lib/modules/2.4.9/ ?
