Hi, I am trying to build a new kernel but what ever version 2.4.24, 2.6.0, 2.6.1 i am trying to build I come across the same problem. when doing a "make install" i get the following error. /dev/mapper/control: open failed: No such file or directlry Is device-mapper driver missing from kernel? Comman failed. I have installed the lates packages device mapper 1.00.07 initscripts 7.28.1 modutils, lvm2.2.00.08 mkinitrd-3.5.15.1-2 If I just ignore the message and try to boot the machine with the new kernel then I get a Kernel Panic. VFS: Cannot open root device "LABEL=/" or unknown-block(0,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unapble to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0). The boot command in grub is root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.1 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi initrd /initrd-2.6.1.img It is basically the same (except the version) as I use for 2.4.20-28 so I assume the label is correct. I saw quite a few messages of similar type but no real answer to the problem. Any Ideas what it could be ? I am using RH9.0 Thanks Alex - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
