The kernel does not have the driver to detect the HDD and thus it is complaining that it cannot mount the root fs. Did you select <*> for the IDE driver in menuconfig? Additionally, select the IDE/SATA controller chipset as <*> in menuconfig. Also, suggest do 'make mrproper' prior to 'make menuconfig.' > I am not using any initrd image and there is no entry for the same in > menu.lst. If you build a monolithic kernel then no need for initrd image. -- Arun Khan (knura at yahoo dot com) Sattinger's Law: It works better if you plug it in. -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
