I've downloaded the 2.6.9 source from kernel.org, but after configuring, compiling, and installing, I can't boot it. I get this message: "Warning: unable to open initial console" and then the boot process stops.

Google searching seems to imply some link between this problem and the switch from devfs to udev.

Has anyone else had this problem? Or better yet, found a solution to allow me to boot my custom kernel?
