Hi All,
I am trying to build and compile a new kernel. Currently, I have
linux-2.6.25.11-97.fc9.i686 installed on my machine, which I use to build
and compile the new kernel for linux-2.6.19.2. I follow the standard
procedure for building and compiling the kernel, but still I am unable to
boot my machine from the new kernel. I get the following errors when I try
to boot the machine from the new kernel:-
Uncompressing Linux... OK, booting the kernel
ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acpiid 0x2
ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acpiid 0x3

I am copying and pasting grub.conf, fstab and mtab for your reference.
grub.conf looks like:-
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
# root (hd0,4)
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda5
# initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda

mtab (END)

I went through a lot of online blogs that list the same errors as mine and
tried the remedies posted there. But so far nothing seemed to have worked
for me. I did make initrd image of my own, but it didn't work either. I have
rebooted grub may be 1000 times by now. By the way I did try to boot the
system from irqpoll option but it was all in vain. I got the same errors as
before. Any help is much appreciated.
Please, let me know if .config file would be of any help.
Thanks in advance........
