Hello, I have been using Mandrake Linux since version 7 and have loved all but one thing about it. I have yet to be able to compile a kernel on Mandrake. I have successfully compiled kernels on Debian, Slackware, Red-Hat, and various other systems but never successful on Mandrake. Every time i have tried it has failed due to Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 16:05. In case the line above that has any significance it reads ds: No Socket Drivers Loaded! Some may say that this is due to incorrect modules selected during compilation but this is not true in my case because i have left the default Mandrake 9 kernel sources in /usr/src/linux and then extracted the 2.4.20 sources in /usr/src/linux-2.4.20 i then cd into /usr/src/linux-2.4.20 and did make oldconfig
This should have built the 2.4.20 kernel using the .config file from the Mandrake sources which would have basically enabled everything and left my system in a working status. Please help. Thanks Mike
