kernel compiling for mandrake-10.1CE?


hi im trying to compile my own kernel for mandrake-10.1CE using kernel-2.6.8.1 but after compiling i use the newly compiled kernel to boot, but when it comes to booting it says "kernel panic please append the correct root device"

i dont understand why is this so. any help?

thanks

there must be a bug with this kernel source because i heard of many people having this problem. i have the exact same thing after booting a newly compiled kernel. if u check .config file in a text editor from the /usr/src/linux u might be surprised as many entries wont appear to be the ones u chose in xconfig or menuconfig...

Check your config and lilo, etc... I've had 2.6.8.1 running fine on mdk10 as well as several kernels since. currently running 2.6.9-rc3

the problem might be in xconfig or menu config as it alternates the .config file between the moment u edit/save it and the moment u start compiling. in other words the choices u make in ur config sometimes change slightly after exit menu mode...
