2.6.26-15 kernels at least, compiled with gcc 3.4 or 4.3 -- I'm not sure which

[Willy Gommel <wg3w@spamcop.net>]

As one who has been accustomed to compiling my own kernels for some years, I'm 
sure you can imagine my consternation in trying to compile a new kernel for 
my AMD-64 machines, only to find that they do not work at all.

Why not? I honestly dunno. The symptom is a remarkably persistent "Kernel 
panic" message that says something to the following effect: "Not syncing; 
unable to load kernel from root directory (3,1)."

This seems a far cry from the days when I could simply breeze through a MAKE 
MENUCONFIG session and choose my choices and compile the thing and have it 
work. That is what I really need it to do again!

HELP!!!!

Thanks very much. :)
