hello,what i meet is someway like mr lee's problem.i compile 2.4.3 kernel on a smp
machine(4xCPU,4G RAM),and copy file bzImage to /boot named vmlinuz-2.4.3,add the
following lines into lilo.conf then restart
the machine:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.3
label=linux2.4.3
root=/dev/sda1
when rebooting,the machine says that VFS cannot mount root file system on device
801 and then halt with no
response.can you give me any suggestion?how to build a RAM disk.i compile the
kernel and reboot successfully on a PC without that.thanks.
