For Compilation of Linux-2.6.18 kernel
I follwed these steps
1.Extracetd the source.
2.Copied it to home dir
3.Make mrproper
4.Make menuconfig
5.Make
6.Make modules_install
7.Make install
UPTO these steps No errors occurred.
After this I am uable to reboot with new linux 2.6 kenrel
during reboot linux2.6 kernel panic is happening.
*VFS: Cannot open root device "LABEL/" or unknown-block(0,0)*
*Please append the a correct "root" =boot option*
*Kernel panic -not syncing:VFS:unable to mount root fs on unknown - block
(0,0)*
Please let me know the where I did the mistake.
This is grub file ....
#* grub.conf generated by anaconda*
