Upgrade To Kernel 2.4.20 Problems
 
UPGRADE PROBLEMS


I cannot boot my new kernel 2.4.20 - I am getting the following messages:

ds: no socket drivers loaded
VPS: cannot open root device "LABEL=/" or 00:00
Please append a correct "root="boot option
Kernel Panic: VPS: Unable to mount Root fs on 00:00

During the Upgrade: After doing make bzImage - I could not do a make modules
......./include/kernel/modules directory was empty
so I copied the modules files from the 2.4.14-18 path to the
/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/include/kernel/modules directory
tried to a make modules_install (but I don't think this has worked properly)
Only the drivers folder is there in the /lib/modules/2.4.20 directory

I recreated the links System.map and vmlinuz
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20
ln -s /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20 /boot/vmlinuz
cp /usr/src/linux/System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.20
ln -s /boot/System.map-2.4.20 /boot/System.map
Created /boot/initrd.2.4.20.img :
/sbin/mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20.img 2.4.20
The initrd-2.4.20.img file is 66960 bytes while the previous initrd-2.4.14-18.img file is 129917 bytes
I believe both are compressed


My grub.conf looks like:
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
password --md5 $1$NÿluuaEÇ$XA7U2AWgj4k98Ei143xll0
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi pci=off nomce
initrd /initrd-2.4.20.img
title DOS
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1



Please Help!
