I have installed 4.0 from a RH cdrom and applied all of the errata
rpms. (without any known problems). I then recompiled the kernel using the
latest source kernel-source-2.0.18-6 and modularized everything I could
except ext2 filesystem. This also went along ok without any error messages.
I then copied and edited and ran /sbin/lilo as per RH user guide
instructions. Here is my revised lilo.conf file if relevant:
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
append=cdu31a_0x230,0
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=l
root=/dev/hdb1
read-only
other=/dev/hda1
label=d
table=/dev/hda
When I boot with the new kernel it "sees" the IDES but stops
loading with the line "kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:41"
If I try to load the old kernel then I get the same message but on
08:03 instead of 03:41.
What next? Thanks Rick :)
