Re: kernel compile - Unable to mount root fs

[Soren Orel <soren.orel@gmail.com>]

it works!

I just forget:

cp arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30-1


and:
mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.30-1 2.6.30.1


and to edit grub:
title kernel 2.6.30.1-barminev
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.30-1 root=/dev/hda2 ro
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.30-1

thank you!!! alias köszi! :D

mkinitrd is a standard command on all linux systems, so you can check
its manual page. Maybe man update-initramfs can help too. Best of
luck.
