Hi all, I am trying to run it on RH9. I started from the source of Linux 2.4.24 and was able to do that successfully. But when it comes to patching the host kernel ( RH9 2.4.20-8) with skas3 patch to have some performance post, the kernel recompilation does not succeed. At boot time, I got a message telling that " Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel Panic:...... " I tried to follow many tutorials on the web for kernel recompilation. What I did is the follwoing: - Made a copy of the source kernel - patch it. - make xconfig (I did not make any change , I could not find proc/mm though) - make dep - make clean - make bzImage - make modules - make modules_install - copy bzImage to /boot/vmlinux-????.img - mkinitrd - modify the grub.conf -restart I got error at boot time. Any directions???

Hmm, applying the SKAS patch to a so "non-vanilla" kernel is not a very good idea. > At boot time, I got a message telling that > > " Please append a correct "root=" boot option > Kernel Panic:......

Probably you did an error while adding the new kernel, which complains that you didn't pass it the "root=" parameter or that it hadn't a reasonable value. > -restart > > I got error at boot time. > > > Any directions??? -- Paolo Giarrusso, aka Blaisorblade Linux registered user n. 292729 http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade |
