Hi; I am building 2.6.8 kernel source on my x686 Sarge system wihtout using initrd. The kernel-patch.2.6.8 only applies to the prebuilt 2.6.8_2 kernel package and not a prestine kernel. So, I am not using initrd for my 2.6.8 kernel build. The system boots up but cannot mount teh root fs. What am I missing? Any advice and insight is appreciated. Regards, TEH
