Hi, I am running FC1 on a shitty VIA MVP3 based mobo which crash when shutdown, so i decided might as well compile 2.6.1 kernel with CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF enable and see how things go. I get the stable 2.6.1 source from kernel.org, and tries built the kernel with the instruction from http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/custom-guide/s1-custom-kernel-modularized.html 1) backed up /lib/modules 2) make mrproper 3) make menuconfig 4) make dep && make clean 5) make bzImage 6) make modules 7) make modules_install 8) make install Everything seems to run fine. initrd-2.6.1.img and grub.conf are created/config automatically. However when I reboots to the new kernel, things get stuck when the the kernel(?) tires to mount the / file system. VFS: Cannot open device "LABEL=/" or unknown-block(0,0) Please append a correct "root"= boot option. Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) Changing grub.conf line: kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.1 amp=realmode-power-off ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb to: kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.1 amp=realmode-power-off ro root=/dev/hdc1 rhgb doesnt go very far either; system is stuck again when it tries to mount other partitions/disk. I tired modify /etc/fstab from using labels to actual partition name like: from: LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 to: /dev/hdc1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 It goes a little bit further in init. but stucked in mounting paritions/disc again. Some old msg in this mailing list suggested this might be the problem of a old mkinitrd, so i updated mkinitrd to mkinitrd-3.5.15.1-2.i386.rpm, then built the initrd image manually. I doesnt seems to help. Any clues? D. Lee __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! BB is Broadband by Yahoo! http://bb.yahoo.co.jp/
