Kernel wont mount root filesystem, complains about pivot_root
I just recently finished compiling the Linux 2.6.3-7 kernel and added everything into my lilo.conf file, checked the config and installed lilo. When I tried to boot up, I told lilo to boot using the new kernel and I saw the kernel loading and everything looked like it was working so far, then I got this
Code:
Mounting root filesystem |
There is probably something wrong with your lilo.conf.
can you still boot with the old kernel? If you can't, try something like linux noinitrd at the lilo option screen (press ESC at the lilo menu). |
I can still use my old kernel, I tried first without an initrd, but I got errors before I got this far. I can't remember what the errors are because I'm not at home, but I'll get them once I'm back.

Here is what I get when passing the noinitrd option to the kernel
Code:
VFS: Cannot open root device "309" or unknown-block (3,9) |
hmm. could you post your lilo.conf?
