Dear all, I am trying to compile a 2.6.15 kernel on a Pentium MMX with a Seagate hard drive ST33221A. When I boot I get the following error message: kernel panic not syncying VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (3,3). I have read in some websites, that It would be useful to set debugging on the messages in the boot process because in kernel 2.6.x the number of the partitions could be altered and the debug messages could shed any light on what is going on. I have reviewed my configurations and I do not see why I getting this error: - I have deactivated modules support, so EXT3 support is within the kernel, not loaded as a module - I have deactivated the security options SELinux and the corresponding security options of SELinux in EXT3. - I have activated IDE, IDE_BLK_DEV_IDE, ATA for old disks support... - I have deactivated INITRD support since I do not use modules support. I attach lilo.conf and .config if someone sees any error, please tell me. Many Thanks in advance Best Regards, Miguel
