I'm using slink, and need to recompile the kernel. This is on a computer where LILO won't install, so I have to boot off a floppy.
Ran 'make menuconfig', and double-checked that "Second extended fs support" was not compiled as a module. In the Makefile, I set : ROOT_DEV = /dev/hdb3 Ran make-kpkg kernel_image. I then executed: dpkg -i kernel-image-2.2.6_1.00_i386.deb directing it to make a boot . I get this error on restart: VFS: Cannot open root device 03:43 Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:43 I'm not exactly sure how to troubleshoot this. Any advice? --- This is what we do.
