Hi!
I recently compiled kernel 2.6.22 on Slackware 11.0 installation on my Acer Aspire 5100 laptop.

I was having some kernel panic problems when I tried to boot into it, which evaporated when I enabled SATA support in the new kernel. I was able to work in this new kernel until I installed Debian on a separate partition overwriting the lilo of Slackware with Debian's Grub.

Now when I try to boot into Slackware kernel 2.6.22 I get Kernel panic error. But if I try to boot into Slackware with kernel 2.6.17, I am able to boot in without any problem.

As a drastic measure I copied the config file from /boot/ of Debian (kernel 2.6.22 again)into Slackware and loaded it from xconfig and compiled the kernel once more. Still I am getting the same error.

Here is the relevant portion of menu.lst

Any suggestions?

Thanking in advance,

did you maybe use an initrd?

S**t, I knew I forgot something! I'll try this command, please correct me if I am wrong -

cat /boot/README.initrd

mkinitrd -c -k 2.6.22 -m ext2/3/resierfs
