Hello All: I am having a problem trying to get my new kernel image to boot. I have recompiled the kernel for IPTables/NAT support and after I do a make dep clean bzImage, make modules, make bzlilo and make modules_install..I copy the old kernel over to vmlinuz.old and make the new bzImage the vmlinuz and adjust the lilo.conf file accordingly. I then restarted lilo and rebooted...it will get only a little ways before it comes up with "could not mount root", please specify differnt area for root= I have gone over this several times and keep getting the same problem. What step am I missing here? Anyone's help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Traci

Can you boot from a boot disk (CD or floppy?) Do you get the same error? Mind if I ask what the security advantage of your custom kernel will be over the latest SuSE kernel images? dproc
