List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi listers. I built a 2.4.17 kernel because this is what I happen to = have, and rebooted the machine. It came up talking and it probed = hardware successfully. However, it can't mount the root filesystem and = it terminates with a kernel panic: fs: Unable to mount root filesystem. = I checked system.map to make sure it said root=3D/dev/hda2 because this = is my root partition, and it is also in lilo.conf as root=3D/dev/hda2. = Here's basiclly what it looks like: image=3D/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17 label=3DKernel1 read-only root=3D/dev/hda2 alias=3D1 It also says root=3D/dev/hda2 closer to the top of the lilo.conf. What = could I be missing? I alias back to the kernel with 2, and it boots = fine. Any help would be great! Thanks in advance.
