Greetings:
This post is for archives and google searches. No help required.
On booting new compiled 2.4.18 kernel, I incurred a kernel panic:
VFS: Cannot open root device "" or 03:03
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:03
Before you start to tweak a lilo.conf file, do make sure you *include*
ATA-ATAPI disk support in the kernel config prior to compiling! :)_
Main menu: ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support --->
Then: IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices --->
<*> Include IDE/ATA-2 DISK support
It is painfully easy to build kernels for your *own* box, but other
peoples boxen might just use IDE, and require the driver support. :)
