 |
|
I have just build Linux 2.6.26.5. I am using Grub to boot it. When the
kernel loads it cannot find by filesystem. My grub bootline looks like this
: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26.5 ro root=/dev/sda1
Any suggestions would help

Okay, you seem to be trying to use a hard driver for the root filesystem, so
what I'd check is:
* Is it the right drive (sdb1 rather than sda1 etc)
* Are the appropriate drivers for the drive built in to the kernel
(I'd check with make menuconfig even if you copied the .config
from a working older kernel as the names occasionally change).
* Do you have support for the root filesystem type built into the kernel
(ie ReiserFS/ext3/etc...).
Cheers,

Post the last few lines on the default console. Usually that gives a
good indication to what the problem is. |
