Re: VFS: Cannot open root device
Ok, it really depends on your config.
Do you have a USB mouse or keyboard, what's you sound card, network card...?
When you run make {x,g,menu}config there is a short description for each
option.
The better way is to look at the kernel how-to
(http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO/).
I hope my posts will be useful.
Bye, Aurel.

All right, I'll try it out later this evening, because I'll have to
download the .deb with Windows, then burn it onto a disk, yadda yadda.
I'll try reconfiguring the kernel as well, just to be sure. By the
way, what are modules good for? Yeah, it's a newbie question, but I
have to ask. ;-)

Yes, module-init-tools isn't in stable packages, try to download
(you'll find a .deb here:

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.
