| |
Hi there,
I'm using ROCK Linux, which is built with devfs, originally Kernel 2.4.0-test9. This problem occurs, when I want to boot some Kernel after 2.4.0-test9, whereas building and installing the Kernel never is a problem.
I enabled devfs support as well as the mounting of devfs at bootup in the configuration, just as it is with my "default"Kernel, next, I played around with lilo.conf (under normal circumstances a make bzlilo without any playing-around should do it, shouldn't it?) Then, as this also did show no success I tried passing root=/..... devfs=mount (<= don't nail me on this one, but I'm sure I did it the right way) at the LILO boot prompt. Whole story. Point. That's all. When trying to mount the root he hangs with "Kernel Panic: I have no root and I want to scream." Poor Kernel. Hope this helps anyone except me in any way (or perhaps I'm just too stupid).
Best Regards, Raphael
