Re: Boot with a 2.6.7 on FC1

hi all,

I 've just compile a 2.6.7...

My root fs is in reiserfs (I use lvm1 and reiserfs for the other fs), when i try to boot on my new kernel I have got this message :

VFS : Cannot open root device "hda1" or unknown-bloc(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic : VFS : Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

I think I come from the fact I havn't any initrd and that reiserfs is compiled as a module :

Why not compile reiserfs directly into the kernel?

Is any one may say me how to create an appropriate initrd file to boot correctly ?

mkinitrd
usage: mkinitrd [--version] [-v] [-f] [--preload <module>]
       [--omit-scsi-modules] [--omit-raid-modules] [--omit-lvm-modules]
       [--with=<module>] [--image-version] [--fstab=<fstab>] [--nocompress]
       [--builtin=<module>] [--nopivot] <initrd-image> <kernel-version>

       (ex: mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.7.img 2.6.7)

thanks!
