Re: kernel compile - Unable to mount root fs

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

It only brings up this error message on a VirtualBox machine.. :D
I tried to compile the vanillia kernel on two other machines, and it worked, booted without error.. :)
The VirtualBox machine was only to try, how it works, thank you!

Lucky Don Quixote :), obviously you never have been hitten by fsck not
being able to cope with a broken FS.  In such a situation the machine
automagically boots into single user mode.

Maybe it should be made clearer that you're at your own risk when
hitting C-d.  I'd never do that on a production box or when the
FS contains valuable data.
