i compiled the 2.6.7 kernel from source using make-kpkg. when i boot i get this:
UDF-fs: No partition found (1) Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown block(3,4)
/dev/hda4 is the root partition and has /boot on it as well. it's an ext3 partition. i have no UDF partitions to my knowledge.
kernel options that may have relevance that i set for 2.6.7 are:
CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE=16384 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y
worse, my old 2.4.18 kernel no longer works.
Meaning? What do you get when you select Linux 2.4?
i'm assuming this
means that what i'm doing wrong is something trivial & stupid. my current lilo.conf is:
You verified that the symlinks actually point to what they must point to?
boot=/dev/hda compact lba32 timeout=200 prompt
# To use the new LILO boot menu, add the following bitmap=/boot/debianlilo.bmp bmp-table=109p,148p,1,7 bmp-colors=0,15,8,15,1,7 bmp-timer=514p,144p,0,15
# don't think this is needed: #install=/boot/boot-bmp.b
map=/boot/map vga=normal delay=20 default=Linux image=/vmlinuz label = Linux # i've tried commenting out read-only, but to no avail read-only initrd=/initrd.img root=/dev/hda4
image=/vmlinuz.old label = "Linux 2.4" read-only append = "hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi" initrd=/initrd.img.old root=/dev/hda4
other=/dev/hda1 label="Windows 98"
thanks in advance for any help, macho
