Re: VFS: Cannot open root device
Yes, module-init-tools isn't in stable packages, try to download (you'll
find a .deb here:
http://www.backports.org/debian/dists/stable/module-init-tools/binary-i386/)
and install it, you should use modules.
Retry making a make-kpkg clean before compiling and choose the default
answers and the end of the installation ([No] then [Yes]) whith dpkg -i
../kernel-image* .
Check your lilo and run lilo -v just to be sure.

Yes, I tried doing it the Debian way as well, but it didn't work out
either, unfortunately. I also double checked the configuration, and
ext3 is active, and not as a module (in fact, I even tried building a
kernel without module support, but it didn't help either). Also, I
haven't been able to find mod-init-tools on my Debian stable disks.
Apt-get doesn't seem to know a package by that name, but I don't think
it matters since the currently installed kernel doesn't make use of
modules.
I must admit I'm stumped. I compiled a 2.4.22 kernel last summer if I
recall, and it worked on the first try, so I really don't know what
I'm doing wrong.

Hi,
First, did you compile your new 2.6 kernel using the Debian way
(apt-get install kernel-package kernel-source* ...) ? It's the better
solution, believe me.
It's seems you didn't include your file system in the kernel, such as
ext3, reiserfs (File system menu when your run make gconfig), Maybe
you put in as a module?
If you were using a 2.4 kernel don't forget to install mod-init-tools
(apt-get install module-init-tools).
