Please get the latest source RPM of kernel 2.6.23 from one of the
Fedora mirrors.  The latest 2.6.23 Fedora kernel may not be the one you
want, but I think that will do. Then build the kernel and initrd*.img
by following my build instructions in my Yahoo blog:

http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-0OCENX4haau1oA38TsiK4DP2YLk-?cq=1&p=177

Then you need to modify /boot/grub/grub.conf (for Fedora, menu.lst is for
Ubuntu) to enable your new kernel to boot.

I don't remember the last time I built a Linux kernel and yesterday I
tried building the latest vanilla Linux kernel on top of Fedora Core 5
but I always get this kernel panic error:

VFS: Cannot open root device "LABEL=/" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:
Kernel panic: not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

I also tried setting the kernel parameter of my /boot/grub/menu.lst
with "root=/dev/sda1" but still with no luck.

Anyone has encountered a similar problem and able to solve this? What
do you think I missed here?

Thanks in advance.

Marvin
