After recompiling the kernel, ran all the make's and lilo and after I reboot, I select my new kernel from the lilo menu and it seems to be getting started o.k., but then I see: Kernel panic!VFS:Unable to mount root fs on 03:07 Did I miss a step after the recompile? Any ideas? I receive the very same error message and I do NOT use reiserfs on my old 6.1 suse
Any idea what I have been missing?
Can you post your disk configuration (i.e. partitions and where is the linux located)?
Ok, error: VFS: Cannot open root revice 03:02 Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:02 My / is located /dev/hda2
Are you sure lilo is pointing to the right "root", and you built in IDE support?
My system is an IDE only one. Lilo points to root as to boot=/dev/hda image=/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2
yes - the driver for your IDE hardrive (device 03:07 is /dev/hda7, see ls -l /dev/hda7)
No idea ?!?! I -however- can boot using Loadlin and it runs! Must be Lilo error I suppose?!
Apply rdev to the kernel giving the root device. man rdev, I'm not sure about the syntax.
What you mean? O

I think that lilo thinks you have the kernel in a place where the kernel is not really at.
My / is located /dev/hda2

I think you don't need explicit IDE support.

Make sure the System.map file in /boot/ is the right one. Then, # rdev /boot/vmlinuz /dev/hda2 That should work If not, try (when appropiate) # <previous makes> # make bzlilo # <make the modules part> # cp /vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz.2 # mv /System.map /boot/ # <add /boot/vmlinuz.2 to the lilo.conf file> # lilo # rdev /boot/vmlinuz /dev/hda Though I think it should work right with only rdev.
