Hi everyone,
I've got a bit of a problem here installing kernel 2.6.39. I'm a CS student curious about OS and its inner workings so I attempted to build and install kernel on my own. The book which I read advised that I don't install kernel as root but most of the commands still required me to execute using 'sudo'.
- using 'make menuconfig' tool "Device Drivers" I've added device support for my Dell machine (but I don't think this could cause any problems).
- I executed the 'make ARCH=x86_64 defconfig' and compiled with 'make -j4' command because I have a dual core processor.
When I try to select the new kernel from boot menu and run it in "Recovery Mode" I get these errors:
No filesystem could mount root, tried: ext3 vfat msdos
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block (8, 2)
I can still load my original Ubuntu installation but need some advise on how to build kernel in Ubuntu. Perhaps there are some specific steps I need to follow to install a kernel in Ubuntu or could it be a bug in kernel itself?
Thank you,
Victor.
