Ok ok I have SuSE 7.0 on a Dual Celeron with 2 hard disks (First IDE /dev/hda and second IDE /dev/hdc) and it boots from the First allthough the root exists on the second. Up to here no problemo. So I have Kernel 2.2.16 and I configure the source and try to boot. But when it boots and autodetects my hardware it tells me something like this: Kernel Panic VFS error <--or something like that No root to mount found. Please append correct root= when you boot. (ok ok so I cannot remember exactly) But thats the scenario pretty much. Is there some option associated with this that I didn't configure with make xconfig? It boots ok when I boot with the allready precompiled Kernel. Any ideas? And another thing....I have a RealTek network card but in the Ethernet 10 the RealTek option is greyed out...I cannot enable it. Why o why o why...

Which map file did you use when you ran lilo? I think, but I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong that you need to use the newly generated one that is produced when you make the kernel. ian -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

Does your newly-built kernel support IDE and ext2fs (built into the kernel, not as modules)? How does your lilo.conf look? It should contain something like [...] boot = /dev/hda image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/hdcX label = linux [...] where hdcX is your root partition.
And another thing....I have a RealTek network card but in the Ethernet 10 the RealTek option is greyed out...I cannot enable it. Why o why o why...
If it has one of those RealTek 8029 chips, select NE2000 support. Ciao, Stefan -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

Ok ok I managed to solve my other problem....with the root partition. Thank you very much. Ok something very strange now about this realtek. I have the realtek 8139 chip and the xconfig has a special option about it. The only problem is that it is greyed out and I cannot check it. Why? I am using kernel 2.2.16. Strangely on the kernel 2.4 it has support for the realtek 8139 and 8029 and both of them are available. Why is on the 2.2.16 greyed out? Please help me....

Are you sure `Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)' is set to yes? Ciao, Stefan -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
