Trouble installing kernel 2.6.8.1 -- won't boot

hi there
what more u can do is while compiling ur kernel compile first from a config file of the working kernel of 2.6 and then start removing things which we do not require that is more easy than to chose option which we require. regards gaurav |
either you didn't compile the ext3 support in the kernel or you passed the wrong argument to your bootloader... in your bootloader's config file ,see if the "root=" is the same with your Linux partition :)

hi there what i think is that the above problem has been caused most likely by the modutils package i too have faced such a problem for a no. of times nad in my case it was because of the modutils as far as ext3 mounting is concerned i think the kernel has to compiled with inbuilt support not of modular suppport or i think it can report some errors too... regards gaurav |
i had the same error when i didn't suply lilo with the good "root=" partition.As for the ext3 filesistem support.. i didn't really undestand what you just said...but this is not supported by default in the kernel... and if you modularise it it won't work :D
