Hello! I just compiled the kernel 2.6.15 and tried to boot it up, but (as other times with kernels 2.6.1x) it has a kernel panic saying that it can't mount the hard disk, something like "VFS" can't mount the partition because it's a bad option, and "please add the correct option". I don't know what's wrong, I've looked around but I haven't find anything, please, if you could help me, this is the '/boot/grub/menu.lst' file:

# boot sections follow
# each is implicitly numbered from 0 in the order of appearance below
#
# TIP: If you want a 1024x768 framebuffer, add "vga=773" to your kernel line.
#
#-*

# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux [/boot/vmlinuz]
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/discs/disc0/part3 ro

# (1) Arch Linux 2.6.15
title Arch Linux [/boot/bzImage]
root (hd0,0)
kernel /bzImage root=/dev/discs/disc0/part3 ro

Please help me, I have ArchLinux 0.7.1 Noodle installed in my PC and I really need this new kernel to have somethings working.


NOTE: I didn't include the color configuration part of the file because I think it's not needed.

Why this stange notation? - looks like names in the devfs style.
Do you even have these names for your devices?

Are you referring to /dev/hda3 with this? If so - say so...
kernel /bzImage root=/dev/hda3 ro

If this was not the problem - please describe the error better - post the error message along with when this happens.

Yes, that was the problem, thanks you very much!

I thought that it should be that way because the first option is configured on that way, and I didn't tried with hda3 because in Debian, I tried too but it wasn't working. Anyway, THANKS!
