I can't get a make-kpkg kernel to boot. It can't mount the root fs. Note I am using initrd and compiled make-kpkg with --initrd. One difference I notice with the stock kernel and mine is:
# locate ext3 /initrd/lib/modules/2.4.17-686/kernel/fs/ext3 /initrd/lib/modules/2.4.17-686/kernel/fs/ext3/ext3.o /lib/modules/2.4.17-686/kernel/fs/ext3 /lib/modules/2.4.17-686/kernel/fs/ext3/ext3.o /lib/modules/2.4.17mfcf/kernel/fs/ext3 /lib/modules/2.4.17mfcf/kernel/fs/ext3/ext3.o Perhaps this accounts for the difference in behaviour, i.e. 2.4.17-686 boots but mine 2.4.17mfcf does not? Gives a VHS kernel panic message to the effect it can't mount the root file system. Note I am using ext3 on the root in the fstab I put in ext3,ext2 for the type. -walter
