hi all, I compiled the kernel 2.6.23 and did it in several ways but at each time end up in getting the following error at the boot time.
Check root = bootarg cat /cmdline or missing module or devices; cat /proc/modules ls dev ALERT /dev/sda4 does not exist Dropping to shell BusyBox...... and then it drops to (initramfs) prompt. I checked the commands(cat /proc/cmdline) at that point which gives me /dev/sda4 response and my device map is also set to "(hd0) /dev/sda4". Please help me in this to solve this.l The methods I followed were make O=/home/tharanga/kernels/2.6.23 menuconfig make O=... make O=.. modules_install install I also tried to do it in make O=/home/tharanga/kernels/2.6.23 menuconfig make O=... make O=.. modules make O=.. modules_install make install and then I use mkinitrd to genarate inird.img files which was did not give me any exceptions and then used update-initrams -c to do the same thing which was with out any exceptions. Then I did update-grub and when the booting falied with that I manually edited the mnu.list file which I double chekced and root = /dev/sda4 is correctly set. I am out of ideas now. can any body suggest me what should I do to for this. Thank you very much in advance and hope one of you guys will be assisting me in this. ~Tharanga Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
