List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi, I am trying to make a kernel with speakup witch lets me load compressed root floppy disks like installation root disks in to a ram disk like slackware 8.0. I am using kernel 2.4.10 and have ramdisk, ramdisk initrd, ext2, msdos, fat, vfat, umsdos, ext2, iso9660 and all of the standerd stuff in a rescue disk kernel. My root disk works with the slackware boot disk but I want to build my own kernel with the speakup cut and paste features which the slackware boot disk does not have. When I boot this kernel and the root device is set on /dev/fd0 it panics with vfs, unable to mount root fs on 02:00. What could I be doing wrong to cause this when the slackware boot disk works but mine does not? bye -- http://users2.ev1.net/~nick6 Home of Chihuahua Radio, the internet radio station that I run.
