Thanks Andy. I'm a bit out of phase with the email server.
Yes -- the kernel does boot and prints a bunch of stuff (successful stuff) to screen. Then I get the following error followed by a "kernel panic" VFS: Cannot open root device "sdb8" or unknown-block(0,0) I don't think this is a 'grub' error -- perhaps a grub user error. I built a kernel using my existing .config file so I expect it to be good. However, my existing kernel uses a initrd.img file but I don't know how to create one of those? I'm not even sure I need one? It wasn't mentioned in the book-6.7?

Does the kernel boot at all? Does it print anything to screen? Any > kernel panic message?
