I am using Red Hat 8.0 with the default kernel of 2.4.18-14. The kernel compiled OK, however the Red Hat instructions say that a directory /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14custom should have been created but this was not the case. However, grub.conf was as follows: default=1 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14custom) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14custom ro root=LABEL=/ initrd /initrd-2.4.18-14custom.img title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/ initrd /initrd-2.4.18-14.img When I tried to reboot the machine and use the new kernel, I got a kernel panic during bootup: ds: no socket drivers loaded! VFS: cannot open root device "LABEL=/" or 00:00 Please append a correct "root=" boot option. Kernel Panic: UFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00 Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here? Here is my /etc/fstab file: LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 Any help appreciated.
