Ladies and Gentleman, In order to use my shorewall/2.6 based firewall to route IPSECed (openswan) wireless, I need to apply these patches from the netfilter patch-o-matic-ng (extra) to the 2.6.6 kernel: 1) ipsec-01-output-hooks 2) ipsec-02-input-hooks 3) ipsec-03-policy-lookup 4) ipsec-04-policy-checks 5) policy I have done so and am trying to compile the kernel for my VIA based hard ware. When trying to boot the new kernel, I run into the common (according to google) error message: >Kernel Panic VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(3,1) which seems to imply that the kernel can't access my reiserfs root partition. I have looked around on the web extensively and tried/fixed a lot of things, including changing my grub boot options to "kopt=root=0301 ro" and kompiling reiserfs support non-modular into the kernel, but I can't get it to work. The one thing I found and haven't tried is using initrd (as proposed e.g. by http://www.hjackson.org/blog/archives/000105.html), because I'm fond of encrypting my swap space and have to reboot with non-encrypted swap space every time I want to install an initrd-based kernel image (through dpkg on my debian system). I was wondering whether a kernel wiz can have a quick look into my .config (attached) and give me some more hints. I have also attached my /boot/grub/menu.lst and my /etc/fstab to give a clear picture of my setup. Thanks for any hints, Joh
