I just recompiled the 2.4.20-9 kernel to include acpi and such. The only proble I have run into is when I boot the new kernel I get this error near the end.
VFS: Cannot open root device "LABEL=/" or 00;00
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00
My partition set up on this laptop is as follows.
1st partition is Windows XP
2nd partition is a fat32 shared partition
the rest of the drive is autopartitioned by Red Hat 9
My Grub.conf file looks like this
title Red Hat Linux 9-Shrike (2.4.20-acpi)
root(hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-acpi ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-9.img
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-8)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8.img
title Windows XP Ho
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
I know I am so close to successfully compiling my own kernel, but I have obviously screwed something up with Grub. Any kernel gurus out there have an idea where I went wrong?
