Kernel panic : LABEL=/ not found

[open_shishya]

Hi,

I've compiled the kernel version 2.4.22 on my laptop to include support for APCI power management, but I'm facing booting problems. It complains as follows :

'Kernel panic LABEL=/ not found'

Ive followed all the necessary steps as mentioned in Kernel build HOWTO.
Please tell me what's wrong. Any feedback shall be highly appreciated.

Regards
Rajesh

It means that your root partition doesn't have a volume lable of "/".
You can override that by passing kernel argument:
root=/dev/hdxx

where /dev/hdxx is the partition where you created your root("/") filesystem.
