'ello, I've been trying to compile a kernel for my PowerBook5,4 that doesn't need an initrd. I have changed the Debian defaults by making the following built-in instead of modules:
ext3 ide-disk The kernel still refused to mount /dev/hda (my / partition). I then disabled devfs support (to make absolutely sure /dev/hda2 would exist) and also turned generic PC IDE support into a built-in option instead of a module. The kernel still panics on startup. The exact error is: VFS: Cannot open root device "hda2" on unknown-block(0,0) I can't find any other options in the kernel that seem related. Clearly there must be something else, though. Does anyone know what it is? (I started out with kernel-image-2.6.8-powerpc package and have been using its .config as a base.) TIA, bye just now, -- Matthew T. Atkinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
