Hi,
I made some minor changes to the Linux kernel (v2.2.14-5), and followed the regular compilation procedure, ie:
make config make dep make clean make bzImage (no errors in any of the above)
copied the new image to /boot, modified /etc/lilo.conf , ran /sbin/lilo and tried to boot my m/c using this new kernel. But i got the foll. error output:
. . . scsi: 0 hosts. scsi: detected total. md.c: sizeof(mdp_super_t) = 4096 Partition check: autodetecting RAID arrays autorun ... ... autorun DONE. request_module[block-major-8]: Root fs not mounted VFS: Cannot open root device 08:05 Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:05
The original kernel boots fine. I have a SCSI hard drive -- are there any options that I need to set during make config (I used the defaults)? The modified kernel is running OK on another machine (with an IDE HDD), so I guess the problem is because of SCSI, and something I need to do with the configuration .. could someone please advise?
If this is the wrong list to be posting such a question, i am extremely sorry.. i tried looking up several sources, but havent reached anywhere so far..
Thanks, Mahesh.
