The funny thing is I didn't make any config changes to the Kernel when I was in the configmenu. I just saved it and went along with the compile. Figured its general base setting would be enough to make it a working kernel. But I was wrong. when I went to boot the system I got the following error msg:
ds: no socket drivers loaded kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k block-major-8, error = 2 VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:03 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:03 now the boot is pointed to /dev/sda3 like the example in the install instructions show. (example for /dev/hda3 but the system I am using is a scsi). Thoughts? Or am I doomed to start over from the begining? > From: "David H.
