Problems rebooting after compiling a new kernel
Hi guys..
I'm having some weird problems when I try to reboot after compiling a
kernel to suit my hardware. I've compiled linux kernels in debian
several times before but I recently installed Debian Potato on a new
intel box. In order to be as detailed as possible I've included some
files at the bottom of the message(mainly the .config file I used to
compile the kernel)so if the message's length is too long then I
apologize.
First of all, this is a list of all the actions I took before rebooting
#cd /usr/src/linux
#make menuconfig
#make dep
#make clean
#make bzImage
#make modules
(Then I moved /lib/modules/2.2.17 to /lib/modules/2.2.17.old)
#make modules_install
(Then I moved /boot/System.map and /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17 likewise)
#cp /usr/src/linux/System.map /boot/map
#cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage
(I changed the symlinks /vmlinuz and /vmlinuz.old to reflect the changes
in /boot)
I edited /etc/lilo.conf to add a new block for /boot/bzImage)
#/sbin/lilo
No lilo errors popped up so I rebooted and once it came time for the new
boot process I got this error..
VFS: Cannot open root device 16:01
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 16:01
To try to fix things I tried to reboot with the boot floppy I made when
I initially installed Debian but I get a *lot* of module dependencies
problems(I'm assuming because of /lib/modules/2.2.17.old )but one which
just won't go away and blocks the login process is
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module net-pf-1
Before I attach the .config file let me say that this computer booted up
fine before compiling a new kernel and that I've tried to boot into
single user mode but that won't work either because of the module
problems. Can someone please point out what I did wrong and how I can
correct it. If it's not reparable then what steps do I need to take once
I reinstall and before I reboot with the new kernel. Thanks in advance.
