Hi,

I have compiled the kerne 2.4.21. Compilation went
well. but i got follwing message at boot time.
======================.
.
/lib/mptscsih.o : unresolved symbol
mpt_deregister_Rsmp_6fb5ab71
/lib/mptscsih.o : Unresolved symbol
mpt_event_register_Rsmp_34ace96b

ERROR : /bin/insmod exited abnormally
Mounting /proc filesystem
Creating block devices
VFS : cannot open root device "LABEL=/ or 00:00
Please append corrrect "root=" boot option
Kernel panic : VFS : Unable to mount root fs on 00:00

=====================

I have following lines in my elilo.conf ,
------------------------------
#original kernel
image=vmlinuz-2.4.21-9.EL
label=linux
initrd=initrd-2.4.21-9.EL.img
read-only
append="root=LABEL=/"

#icc-O2
image=iccvmlinux
label=icc_O2
initrd=iccinitrd-preBasicc.img
read-only
append="root=LABEL=/"
---------------------------
First one works fine.

Any clues why i am getting this error.

Is it related to SCSI Driver ?

Further "/sbin/mkinitrd -f -v " gave follwing
messge,
