You may need to add a file system module to /etc/modules to boot. Check the config file in boot to see if the file system support you need is module or commpiled in. If you roll your own, make sure ide and root file system support is compiled into kernel. Also, if you configure initrd into kernel and use make-kpkg to compile your kernel image, add "--initrd" option; if you compiled without initrd option, make sure CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is not set in your configuration. > > lilo on floppy: > > lba32 > boot = /dev/fd0 > install = boot.b > map = map > compact > prompt > timeout = 50 > read-only > image = vmlinuz > label = linux > initrd=/initrd.img > root = /dev/hde6 > > I added the initrd part since mkboot did not.
