Sory, but I din´t discribe to you why it hapens.
The fs tha you use in /boot is not ext2.
Ext2 is the only thing that is load by kernel as standart. Not as a module.
As you update to a pre-compiled kernel image, its assume that you have
/boot as ext2. (strange but that is!)
As you boot your machine, it get stok, because the kernel don´t
understand what tipe of fs you are using.

Same as I have.
Correction.... HAD ;)
I found that the 2.6 pre-compiled debian kernel is using ext3, reiser
and others fs as modules. I did :
# apt-get install kernel-image.2.6XXX
# apt-get install kernel-source.2.6XXX
# apt-get install kernel-tree.2.6XXX
The last "apt-get" I think its no necessary.
note the XXX ! please change to your kernel variant. My is 686!
Then :
cd /usr/src
# tar xjf kernel-source-2.6XXX
# cp /boot/config-2.6* kernel-source-2.6XXX/.config
# cd kernel-source-2.6XXX
# make menuconfig
Configured to use ext3, xfs and reiserfs not as modules. Save and quit
the menu.
# make-kpkg --initrd --us --uc kernel_image
# dpkg -i kernel-image-2.6_10.00.Custom_iXXX.deb
after all, I remove the lilo.conf and generate another as I don´t
realy care about lilo
# rm /etc/lilo.conf
# liloconfig
# reboot
Good luck

Hey guys,
After updating to 2.6.16-2-amd64-k8-smp on my Sun X4100 I rebooted and
got the following error:
VFS: Cannot open root device md0 or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel Panic -- not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(0,0)
And this is where it will stop during the boot process. I am running
a RAID1 on this machine. When the screen comes up to choose which
kernel I want to boot, I press "e" to edit the grub/menu.list, but all
looks well. Here is what I have:
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-2-amd64-k8-smp root=/dev/md0 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16-2-amd64-k8-smp
savedefault
I'm stumped, what options do I have?
Thanks in advance,
Morgan
