/sbin/mkinitrd --fstab /boot/initrd-2.4.21.img 2.4.21 to create a file initrd-2.4.21.img
When I rebooted to test the kernel, I got the following error;
Kernel panic: no init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. This I understand is a typical newbie compile error, but was preceded a couple of statements;
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
**
**
**
mounting root filesystem
mount: missing root filesystem
The howto kernel compile discusses these errors with LILO and I am using grub, so I could not find a way to solve it.
I punched in c at the grub command line and was able to boot the kernel manually, but not with grub. My grub.conf is exactly like the suggestions in a reply to my earlier post and is copied below.
****************************************grub.conf*********************************************

any suggestions for me to fix this?

Don't change config files unless you know what you're doing. You
should have used the existing boot menu entry as a template for your
new entry:
> title Pasco Linux (2.4.21)

> kernel /boot/bzImage.pasco ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi

(hd0,0) is your /boot-partition. On that partition, the path
to your kernel image is /bzImage.pasco, NOT /boot/bzImage.pasco
Hence your entry should be:
title Pasco Linux (2.4.21)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /bzImage.pasco ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.21.img
