I have built a 2.6.8 kernel, but booting it fails with the following message: VFS: Cannot open root device "hda3" or unknown-block(0,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) The grub stanza used is: root (hd0,2) kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3 ro I have verified that ide support and both the ext2 and ext3 file systems are compiled into the kernel, not as modules. Where should I look for the problem? Regards, Bob
