RE: Errors while booting the newly built 2.6.12 kernel??

[Mukund JB.]

Dear Arjun,
Thanks for your quick response
After I compiled the kernel, I verified the 'initrd-2.6.12.img' and it was present. 
But it is 10000 bytes less than the initial FC4 initrd img.

I did the following steps to build the kernel:

Copied the existing '.config' file from the old kernel and copied to the 2.6.12 kernel base directory.
Then,
# make
# make modules
# make modules_install
# make install

Is there is any thing additional needed for building the kernels in 2.6.x kernels?
I verified the support for inbuilt ext3 too and its present too.
What else could be the problem area?

Thanks & Regards,
Mukund Jampala

may be you have to see if your basic console devices are being created
in initrd , things like /dev/console /dev/null you have to add that to
ur init script if its not

Errors while booting the newly built 2.6.12 kernel??

[Mukund JB.]

Dear Kernel Team,

I am facing a strange error after I compiled the Linux kernel-2.6.12(downloaded from kernel.org).
Please see the errors I get when I try to boot the newly built 2.6.12 kernel.

I found lot of members in the groups discussing this and no definite solution is suggestion.

Please give your valuable inputs on this?
