Hi,
Do you have any bootable kernels? If so, boot with a good kernel and
check that you have the correct root device set on this 2.2.9 kernel
which is giving problems. To check the root device, do 'rdev <kernel
image>' where <kernel image> is the kernel image file, usually zImage or
bzImage, created in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot when you recompiled
the 2.2.9 kernel. OK, good luck,
Hidong
