Well, I got kernel 2.4.1, do all of the make steps (xconfig or menuconfig), dep, bzImage. Evertime I boot into the new kernel I get the error message :

Kernel Panic:VFS unable to mount root fs on 03:01

I am sure that I have all of the needed IDE and ext2fs compiled into the sucker. Anyone else that has gotten this exact message, can you tell me what you did, and what you added?

Slack 7.1, Dual Celeron 500, 64MB RAM, 2.5GB samsung, Intel i740 vid card, RTL8139 network card, and Soundblaster PCI128.

I have done it 4 times now, and it still hasnt worked.

EDIT: I forgot to add that the information when it does start to boot goes by too fast to read, and the vivible (vivible? damn wish I could type sometime. That should be VISIBLE) lines when it stops dont really have anything to do with the HD, FS o the error that I am getting.

Have you added your new kernel image to /etc/lilo.conf and rerun lilo?I'd recheck the kernel config options and make sure to have ext2fs and ide support as Y.Hope this helps.

Yeah, I have run lilo, sorry I forgot to put that in there. I will go through the process again tomorrow (2am right now...very tired) and post again, hopefully from the new kernel. I am probably just missing something small and stupid.

If not, I'll come back, whining for more help!!! ;)

Well, I figured out what was wrong...and what did I say? It was going to be something stupid, and little....damn do I know myself. In /etc/lilo.conf for the new image, I had root = /dev/hda1, when it should have been /dev/hda3.

Sometimes I amaze even myself. Well, I gotta go back and recompile it now anyways, as I wasnt sure which sound card to put support in for, so now I do.

Thanks for the resposnes people. This place rocks.
