I'm trying to use 2.1.21 with modutils-970118. I've applied the
patch and built the kernel without a hitch, but when I boot, I get a
kernel panic to the effect: VFS: unable to mount root fs. 2.1.20 boots
fine. Is this a known problem?
If not, I've included a condensed .config to help debug it. I
looked at super.c and the diff from 2.1.20->2.1.21 but I am not
experienced enough to aid in finding the problem. Note that although I
have an AHA2940UW, my only HD is EIDE and is therefore (obviously) my
root device. Thank you for any help. =]
