Dual boot Kernel Upgrade problems
Well, I installed Knoppix quite a few months ago, and I figure it's finally time to upgrade my kernel.
My system dual-boots Debian and WinXP using a procedure from this forum, which preserves the Windows MBR. Windows is on hda, Debian is on hdd.
I followed the debian-style kernel upgrade instructions, compiling a new 2.6.0-test9 kernel.
When I boot now, LILO loads fine, and then I press return to load Linux.
It displays "Linux Loading........................................... ............................ BIOS data check successful."
Then the usual scrolling Linux load sequence starts... but it stops.
The system seems to be starting the RAMDISK successfully, and then the next line is:
Code:
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on hdd2
Is this a problem with the kernel itself (like, I should recompile and tweak options), or is it something else?
Thank you in advance for any help.

Hello Paradox,

</Snip>
Try going back to make config (make menuconfig or whatever). Under filesystems make sure that the file system you use for your root partition is compiled into the kernel (not as a module). That might help. Yes you will have to recompile the kernel.
Cheers,
