Hey all I have a problem activating a new kernel I am hoping someone can
help. I do the the following:
cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.19
make mrproper -> successful
make xconfig - > successful
make dep -> successful
make clean -> successful
make bzImage -> successful
make modules -> successful
make modules_install -> successful
mkinitrd --with=ext3 /boot/initrd-2.4.19.img 2.4.19 -> fails "no
mbcache module
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.19.img 2.4.19 -> successful
make install -> successful
reboot to new kernel -> fails "kernel panic unable to mount root fs"
grub.conf looks like this:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this
file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda2
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-17.8.0)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-17.8.0 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.18-17.8.0.img
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.18-14.img
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.191)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.191 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.191.img
Any advice is greatly appreciated
Sincerely Phil Lambert
