I have recently compiled an rt-linux kernel and confgured my NT-bootloader
to load both my old-linux and the new rt-linux kernels. I could successfully
load both NT and old-linux, but when I load rt-linux the loading starts and
stops at a point saying that it's unable to mount root filesystem. i have
written the message below for you ....
....
...
partition check:
VFS: Cannot open root device 08:02
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:02
<STOPS HERE>
I followed the procedure listed for compiling and making modules etc. I then
moved the zImage file to /boot directory, then modified my lilo.conf file to
include the new kernel's zImage file. My new lilo.conf looks like....
--------separator--------------------------------------
boot=/dev/sda2
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36-0.7
label=linux
root=/dev/sda2
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.0.36-0.7.img
read-only
image=/boot/zImage
label=RT-Linux
root=/dev/sda2
read-only
-------------------------------------------------
Can somebody please tell me what to do. Since its initializing and stopping
while loading there's no problem with the lilo.conf and since NT loader could
load linux there's no problem with bootsect.lnx file which I copied to c:/
directory after I executed 'lilo -b /dev/sda2', since my boot record is on the
linux root partition.
Thanks in anticipation.
Surya.
