kernel panic after compiling kernel 2.6.5

[mines2s]

hi,
I compiled the new kernel linux-2.6.5,but when i want to boot the new
kernel is halting with this messge:
mountig root file system
mount error 19 mounting ex3
pivootrootivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot,/initrd) failed:2
freeing unused kernel memory:124k freed
kernel panic:No init found.Try passing init=option to kernel
the grub menu.lst is as:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,4)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda10
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda5
default=0
timeout=10

Howdy, I'll just stab at this as a maybe. In my kernel
sources, v2.4.18 error 19 is ENODEV. So i guess it carn't
find it's root dev to pivot the initrd mount on. Seems the
commented part of your Grub config has a root=/dev/hda10
parameter but your uncommented part dosen't. Maybe it
needs the actual device spelt out, as in the commented part.
I don't do Grub so this is just a straw grab.

mines2s, If your still having problems on with the same issue, can you continue it in the original thread you started instead of starting a new thread all the time. You have 3 threads on exactly the same issue.

The other 2 are now locked, continue with this problem in this thread.

Thanks,

Jason

Hi friend,
compile the ext3fs as kernel not as modules. not clear?

ok...Just edit the file .config which would be created once you do make config, and search for File Syatem and replace <M> by <Y>.

Save and come out.
Again make it .
Now it shoul dbe ok...
Mail me once it is done => ashokumar.a@radixs.com
