I have Linux Kernel 1.2.13.
The system works ok but the kernel could do with re-compiling to meet
the needs of this system.
The steps I took;
1. make config - O.k.
2. make dep - O.k.
3. make clean - O.k.
4. make zlilo - O.k.
zlilo file put in /, lilo ran o.k. and disks were sync'ed
Rebooted the system and everythin was ok till I got the 'VFS kernel
panic: unable to mount root file system.'
Both partitions on the Hard drive are formatted to ext2. Ext2 support
is enabled in the new kernel.
Remade the kernel with filesystem support for all file systems and still
the same problem.
made zImage, copied file to /, edited /etc/lilo.config to look for
zImage, reran lilo and rebooted. Same error.
Thge machine does work with the old image but this is something I would
like to sort out.
Any ideas would be very welcome.
Cheers
