I installed Debian Potato (2.2.17) on an AXPCI33 it works with the Generic kernel (original install). I tried to build a new kernel (in order to add hisax module) , so I followed the instruction : make xconfig make dep make clean make boot make modules make modules_install cp /usr/src/linux/arch/alpha/boot/vmlinux.gz /boot (found on aboot documentation) ln -s /boot/vmlinux.gz vmlinux.new >From SRM console I tried to test this new kernel >>boot dka0 -file vmlinux.new root=/dev/sda2 * it start to boot (load hisax modules, NIC cards ) and crash with "VFS: cannot open root device 00:00 kernel Panic : VFS : Unable to mount root fs on 00:00 " The scsi drivers( ncr53c810) is recognized but not able to boot on the partition. Did I forget something , a command , installation of files ( system.map, .config...) Thanks for your answer
