| |
I hope this isn't one of those really stupid RTFM questions, but here it is anyways:
I just recompiled my 1.2.13 kernel (slackware 3.0), for the purpose of including IP forwarding, Multicasting & accounting. I also hoped to get my CD Rom drive and Sound card supported this time around too (I've done this a half-dozen times before on other machines, never had any problem).
I did the standard make config, answered the questions (properly I would assume), make dep; make clean; make zImage, and the compiler-suite takes off, and compiles and makes the target, no complaints warnings, errors, etc., but when I try to boot the kernel (from the test copy on floppy, of course!), it begins booting and makes it all the way through to where it should mount the local disks and says:
VFS: Kernel panic. Cannot mount root filesystem. 3:01
Whats the deal? I tried manually setting Swap dev and Root dev; no go. Could it have something to do with the harddrive support I chose during make config? Is it possible to select the wrong IDE? (I have extended IDE).
