gpggc> 請問該如何升級2.2kernel到2.4，以及如何配置？
    我也遇到同樣的問題，仍然沒有解決，我從2.2.19到2.4.5,2.4.6,2.4.7都沒有升級成功
    我用的是grub引導的，裝在邏輯分區,總是報錯，要指定Root,實際上已經給了root=/dev/ha*的參數
    到底為什麼呢?     下面是出錯信息:
  "request_module[block-major-3]:Root fs not mounted
    VFS: Cannot open root device "hda16" or 03:10
    Please append a correct "root=" boot option
    kernel panic:VFS:Unable to mount root fs on 03:10"

Hi:
    I don't know if grub work with this. You may have
to revert to good and old Lilo.

    1. Add a line like this 'initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.x.xx' in the '/etc/lilo.conf' file.
        For the current 2.4.9 kernel, you should have a section similar to following in the 'lilo.conf':

        image=/vmlinuz
            label=linux
            read-only
            initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.95-386

    I assume your kernel image is put in /boot directory. The '/vmlinuz' at the above 'image' line is a symlink to '/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.9-386', and you should see a 'initrd-2.4.9-386' file in the '/boot' directory.
 
    2. run (as root) lilo and you are ok.
