Hi again.
Made the jump to 6.0,and have had a few probs.
Most are solved now,but its still very buggy.
I have compiled a new 2.0.36 kernel under 6.0
and this runs with no problem.
However,i can also compile a 2.2.1 with no problem.
It will not run though.
I thought that suse6.0 was 2.2 ready ??.guess it is with
modification ??.What mods though ??.

Here is what happens.....
*************************************************************
no device hda
request_module[block-major-3]:root fs not mounted
VFS:Cannot open root device 03:01
Kernel panic:VFS:Unable to mount root fs on 03:01
*************************************************************
I have two IDE udma drives.hda and hdc,/boot is below lilo limit.
hdb is an atapi cdrom.all works fine with a 2.0 series kernel.
all filesystem types that i have and use are accounted for.
That is all i can tell you,cause its not getting logged
in any way.
I have built kernels before,and i have read the docs,and from
what i read,[block-major-4] is defunct as are cua devices.
i do have hda devices in /dev.
So whats the score,lots of you have built 2.2.1,so what am i doing
wrong ??.
and what do we do with all those defunct(in 2.2.1)devs ??.
And if i want to use a 2.0.36 as a tried and trusted kernel
and i do,then is removing stuff advisable ??.
