This is a redhat related problem. Redhat installed and works fine. The install process set up grub. Now I have built a new kernel from the tar ball and need to boot it. I put a new stanza in /boot/grub/menu.lst with the new kernel name and a new name for the stanza. The redhat installed line has kernel vmlinuz-2.4.20-6 ro root=LABEL=/1 so I used kernel vmlinuz-2.4.20-rtl3.2-pre2 ro root=LABEL=/1
the boot fails unable to open root I've tried using root=(hd1,0) which is my understanding of device numbering for grub but it still fails. Same error. I can't find any explanation of "LABEL" in menu.lst or for the /1 notation. Note I did make an initrd iamge with the command mkinitrd initrd-2.4.20.rtl3.2-pre2.img 2.4.20-rtl3.2-pre2 2.4.20-rtl3.2-pre2 is the version as it appears in /lib/modules and the size of the image file is close to that of the oringinal redhat initrd image. Can anybody clue me as to what I need in grub/menu.lst?? _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
