i download linux-2.6.19 package.

I try to Recompile it.


When i boot "new kernel" i got following errors

"mounting root filesystem

mount: could not found the file system '/dev/root'
setting up other filesystems
setting up new root fs
setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory
no fatab.sys, mounting internal defualts
setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory

switching to new root

unmounting old /dev

unmounting old /proc
unmounting old /sys
switchroot: mount failed : No such file or directory

kernel panic - not syncing: attempted to kill init!"


THIS IS MY GRUB.CONF file

Please send the solution

Your default is the 'Other' and there is no 'Other'. See the stuff in red below. GRUB starts counting at 0, not 1. Change the default to 0 to use the old kernel or 2 to use the new kernel. Alternately, delete the 'Other' stuff (in red), then your new kernel will be the default kernel. Also, comment out the hiddenmenu line (put a # in front) so you can choose the kernel to use, not RedHat.

Moved: This thread is more suitable in Fedora and has been moved accordingly to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves.

I think "root=/dev/sda6" is probably wrong. When the grub screen comes up press "e" for edit then try editing that line. first thing I'd try is copy the old kernel entry ie "root=LABEL=/".
hit b for boot and see what hapens. If that works modify grub.conf accordingly, otherwise change sda6
to 5 or 7 and again see what hapens. If you can access the HD some other way and use fdisk -l you can be a bit more scientific, and check what partion root is.
