Hi guys, Sorry - I've posted before, but I'm trying again. I've got a custom built kernel (2.6.11) with no VGA access - I access it via the console port. The shipped fedora kernels work fine, but a custom built one doesn't :( It fails at boot time with: > kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds > EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. > VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly. > Freeing unused kernel memory: 332k freed > Warning: unable to open an initial console. - and then it freezes. I've parsed the same kernel parameters as when booting the shipped FC3 kernel. Do you have any ideas to what might be wrong? I've gotten a hint about block devices being the problem, but a re-compile doesn't work :( Got any ideas? Thanks
