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
If your not using initrd make sure the driver for the root filesystem is compiled into the kernel 'y' as opposed to as a module 'm'.
