hey guys got a few questions for you..
I am trying to compile a kernel which is not really "needed" more cause i want to.
Anyway this is about my 20th or so attempt. All the compiles went well except the last few.
I am using ext3 for now so i figured i didnt need anything else under "file systems" in xconfig ie : ext2, xfs, jfs, minix, reiser fs ... etc...
Well i was really wrong. last boot up i got a kernel panic
I cant seem to find the exact error but it was very close to
Code:
RAMDISK: cramfs filesystem found at block 0
unable to mount at [unknown]
I suspect it is because i removed things i thought i didnt need under filesystems
but am unsure what i need and dont need. Is cramfs part of ext3? I didnt see a specific enrty for cramfs else i would have just selected it. Maybe its xfs?
Just reading on all these different filesystems, half of which i never heard of.
I did read that
Quote:
To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called xfs. Be aware, however, that if the file
system of your root partition is compiled as a module, you'll need
to use an initial ramdisk (initrd) to boot.

Does this mean that whatever root FS you use, regardless if its ext3, reiser, etx2, or anything MUST NOT be compiled as a module or you must have xfs in the kernel?
Is it better to have the root FS as a module with xfs support?
Sorry for all the questions, and thanks!
