I compiled my own kernel following these instructions:
http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-kernel.en.html When I try to reboot in my new kernel I get this error message:
"Cannot open root device"
I checked my menu.lst everything appears to be fine:
Code:
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.15-1-486
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-1-486 root=/dev/hda2 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-1-486
savedefault
boot

The 486 kernel boots fine, my own kernel doesn't. The only difference is the inird file which isn't mentioned in de Debian manual
What can i do?
