Hi All,
I am trying to build and compile a new kernel. Currently, I have linux-2.6.25.11-97.fc9.i686 installed on my machine, which I use to build and compile the new kernel for linux-2.6.19.2. I follow the standard procedure for building and compiling the kernel, but still I am unable to boot my machine from the new kernel. I get the following errors when I try to boot the machine from the new kernel:-
Uncompressing Linux... OK, booting the kernel
ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acpiid 0x2
ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acpiid 0x3
Red Hat nash version 6.0.52 starting
irq20: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)

I am copying and pasting grub.conf, fstab and mtab for your reference.
grub.conf looks like:-
# grub.conf generated by anaconda

# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.

I went through a lot of online blogs that list the same errors as mine and tried the remedies posted there. But so far nothing seemed to have worked for me. I did make initrd image of my own, but it didn't work either. I have rebooted grub may be 1000 times by now. By the way I did try to boot the system from irqpoll option but it was all in vain. I got the same errors as before. Any help is much appreciated.
Please, let me know if .config file would be of any help.
Thanks in advance........
