I compile, install and boot with linux-2.6.26.3 in debian-40r4a
(2.6.18) hosted in VMware Workstation 6 successfully (I failed on
VMware Workstation 5 with the same kernel and debian and got the
BusyBox message) with the following steps:
$ bzip2 -dc linux-2.6.26.3.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
$ cd linux-2.6.26.3
$ make mrproper
$ make defconfig
$ make
$ su -c 'make install'
$ su -c 'make modules_install'
$ su -c 'update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.26.3'
And following five lines in /boot/grub/menu.lst:
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26.3
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26.3 root=/dev/sda1 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26.3
savedefault
I can compile kernel 2.6.27.2 with same steps in the same environment,
but cann't boot in 2.6.27.2 and fall into the BusyBox trap:
Begin: Waiting for root file system... ...
Done.
Check root= bootarg cat /proc/cmdline
or missing modules. devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev
ALERT! /dev/sda1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-4) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter `help' for a list of built-in commands.
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
