Subject: kernel panic after kernel config
I am stumped, could very easily be a simple 'overlooked' solution that I am not seeing at moment. After customizing kernel 2.4.22-1.2197ntpl within Core1, compiling ntfs ro support and sound modules for my sound blaster, I can not get the customized kernel to boot up.
Here are the last three lines on boot-up, prior to system freeze...
VFS: Cannot open root device "LABEL=/" or 00:00
Please APPEND a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic : VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00
It may be that I am being a little blind at seeing a solution, I would appreciate any help at seeing a resolution. thank you in advance

Try editing your /boot/grub/grub.conf so that the root=line points to the root filesystem (i.e. /dev/hda2) instead of LABEL=/.
