Kernel panic

["J.S.Sahambi" <jsahambi@iitg.ernet.in>]

I patched some files and then made the kernel "2.4.19-patched" with the
following commands:

fakeroot  make-kpkg --append-to-version -patched kernel_image


and then installed the kernel with :
dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.19-patched_10.00.Custom_i386.deb



Then I modified the /etc/lilo/conf

When i boot from this kernel i get the following errors and the kernel
panics
