Kernel panic after upgrade to 2.4.2
Thanks in advance for your help.
I decided to go to kernel 2.4.2 on my testing box. Did a apt-get
install to get the source. Got my old config file from /boot
and put it in the source and did a make oldconfig. I then did a
make xconfig and made sure that I had ext2 support and elf and
a.out all compiled in (along with the other options that I
wanted) It compiled with no errors except it did complain
about not being able to find /usr/src/modules but it went on from
there (I assumed that was if I wanted a non standard module and
ignored it) In any case I got my .deb (make-kpkg
revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image was the command I used to make
it) and did a dpkg -i it all ran well with no errors. I ran lilo
a couple of times just to be sure. :) And did a reboot. And now I
am getting a kernel panic saying can't mount the root device
030:030 and to add a correct root paramater. I have the right
root paramater in lilo.conf (root=/dev/hda3) and also tried
passing it this by hand at the lilo prompt Linux root=/dev/hda3.
I'm still getting the same error message. My old kernel still
boots fine. So any ideas on how I managed to break it? Once again
thanks very much.
