I'm having a _very_ annoying problem while trying to compile a custom kernel on my laptop - it always ends up with...
Code: Select all
Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root on unknown-block(0,0)
But then it comes to debian...
I've never been able to compile my own kernel i debian (well, not a 2.6, I haven't tried any 2.4). EVER. And I can't figure out why.
Everything I need is compiled in the kernel. I've compiled both using the make-kpkg (cd /usr/src/linux ; fakeroot make-kpkg kernel-image) and with the plain old vanilla method. Nothing seems to help.
Is there anything I've missed in debian? Like a brand new "we all hate oscar and his kernels" function?
I'm running debian etch on my laptop, but I've had the same problem while using sarge on it.
