Re: Can't boot custom compiled 2.6.30 amd64 kernel

Hey all - I'm having more trouble than I ever have before booting my newly-compiled 2.6.30 kernel. Typically make-kpkg linux-image makes a usable .deb file, which I can install and be done with it. In this case I keep getting:

kernel panic: no init found. Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0).

I have tried the following:

- Using the UUID addressing instead of /dev/sda1 for the root= kernel
parameter
- Compiling the kernel both with and without initrd support

Of interest is that the stock 2.6.30-amd64 kernel boots fine. I am posting my /boot/grub/grub.cfg file and the .config file to http://perrin.socsci.unc.edu/stuff/grub.cfg and http://perrin.socsci.unc.edu/stuff/config for the custom kernel. I am running debian testing. Any advice would be most helpful!

Thanks,
Andy

Got the same error on squeed.
A update-initramfs solved the problem.
