Hi there, i compiled a 2.5.7 kernel and am trying to boot it. I have fedora 2 with /dev/hda2 as root partition (just mentioning in case if this helps) I compiled the kernel and installed it with initrd images and grub entries. It is giving an error message: "Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00" I have read most of the mailing lists given by google. But I am not able to solve the problem. When fedora 2 is able to mount the /dev/hda2 partition, why not a 2.5.7 kernel? I have compiled the kernel with all necessary options set. please help me out. Thanks. -- Regards, B.Nagaprabhanjan.
