I'm been using Debian for over a decade now, and it's always been my practice to build new kernel with the "kernel-package" software that is part of Debian's toolkit. I"m noticed over the last few months that all kernels I try to build will not boot and throw a "kernel panic." The message is as follows: No filesystem could mount root, tried: Kenel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) My grub menu.lst looks like this: title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.30 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30 root=/dev/hda1 ro title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.30 (single-user mode) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30 root=/dev/hda1 ro single title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-686 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686 root=/dev/hda1 ro initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-686 title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-686 (single-user mode) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686 root=/dev/hda1 ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-686 You can see I do not build an "initrd" image, but I've never had to in the past. Thanks for any suggestions. Art
