Hello All,
I just compiled the latest kernel 2.6.16.11 from source and its created
a vmlinuz-2.6.16.11 file along with a link vmlinux in the /boot folder.
Since 'make bzImage' only creates a kernel image, the 'make install' was
used finally to get it into the boot folder for grub.
In grub's menu.lst, I configured the kernel as /boot/vmlinuz and
root=/dev/hdan where n is my partition and its the same entry as in my
existing kernel entry. The image entry is #shed as there was no img
created. When I boot into the new kernel, after a series of initial
text, it gives a kernel panic at the root= entry. Its the same as before
so why can't it mount the VFS on that partition? It cannot recognise
hdan. (n is a number)
Any clues?
Regards,
Rony.
