I have RH9, and I am trying to install the latest kernel, 2.4.21. It
compiles fine, no probs there. I even used the make install command which
adds the new kernel to the grub.conf file. When it comes to reboot and i
pick 2.4.21, the kernel panics when it tries to mount the root directory.
It has root=LABEL=/ as a boot option. The kernel says cant find device
"LABEL=/" use proper "root=" boot option. My boot directory is at
/dev/hde2, root is at /dev/hde5. I have tried setting root=/dev/hde5 at
startup, doesnt work. My hd is a 60gig Western Digital that is connected
to a pci card since my bios is too old to support the drive. Please help, I
really want to see whats so good about the 2.4.21 kernel.
