[mpls-linux-general] kernel panic with mpls-kernel.1.1 synced to 1182

[Kind, B. W. <Bri...@jh...>]

I took the  suggestion and selected the mpls-kernel.1.1 source at the
1182 trouble report.  I had no problem building and booting with the
kernel when I performed a "make menuconfig" and selelected no changes (I
had previously run "make mrproper" to remove any stale .o files).
However, when I selected the kernel option "Multiprotocol Label
Switching", I was able to build the kernel but not boot.  The error
message is "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknow-block(0,0)" .  I tried other builds where I changed all kernel
modules into direct installs and that didn't help also.  I don't believe
there is anything wrong with the grup boot loaded configuration file
because I was able to get the kernel to work if I didn't change anything
from the base selections.  If mpls-kernel-1.1 is more stable, what
kernel selections can I choose or not choose to get it to boot up?

Right now HOL in mpls-kernel-1.1 is danger code, untested. You'd be
better off syncing to 1182
p4 sync @1182
