Re: kernel panic - not syncing: VFS - unable to mount root fs on unknown-block

Sorry, new kernel is 2.6.17. to install suspend2.
I believe using LVM, but I'm not sure.
In effect, initrd is not present ! I rode this lines in my menu.lst :
title		Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.171915
root		(hd1,4)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.171915 root=/dev/hdb5 ro quiet splash
savedefault
boot

So, I suppose that's the center of the problem, but actually, I don't know how to solve it.

I'm using the kernel 2.6.19 with Ubuntu Dapper. I use the old boot

Wow, 2.6.18 wasn't released yet and you have 2.6.19, cool.

config and I type make oldconfig, so I don't understand why there are an error with the near same configuration. I suppose that I must compile not in module but in hard support for my IDE chipset, harddisk and file system. Probably, I don't understand how do exactly. I do that :
lspci |grep IDE

make xconfig

Have I forgot anything ?

RAID or LVM? Try initrd.
