Hello-- For whatever reason I can't boot up a 2.6 kernel (on Sarge-testing) without using mkinitrd to generate an initrd file. No Debian 2.6 HOWTO I've read has this step, and a friend who has build kernels on Woody-testing has never had to do it.
If I don't have an initrd and appropriate line in /boot/grub/menu.list, I get the following: VFS: Cannot open root device "hda1" or unknown-block(0,0) Please append correct "root=" boot option Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) Using mkinitrd (having it scan the directory with the 2.6.4 modules), copying the output to /boot, and configuring menu.list to use it makes my kernel work just fine. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? Thanks, Jeff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
