Hi list. When I boot with Kernel 2.6.0-test9 I get the following message: RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on hda2 I configured, compiled (gcc 3.3.1) and installed the Kernel with modules: make xconfig make bzImage modules modules_install install It's output is: if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.6.0-test9; fi Kernel: arch/i386/boot/bzImage is ready sh /usr/src/linux-2.6.0-test9/arch/i386/boot/install.sh 2.6.0-test9 arch/ i386/boot/bzImage System.map "" Root device: /dev/hda2 (mounted on / as reiserfs) Module list: reiserfs Kernel version: 2.6.0-test9 (i386) Kernel image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.0-test9 Initrd image: /boot/initrd-2.6.0-test9 Shared libs: lib/i686/libc.so.6 lib/ld-2.3.2.so Modules: kernel/fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.ko Bootsplash: SuSE (1280x1024) Using grub, re-install of bootloader not required.

I'm running SuSE 9.0 What is the problem? How can I fix it? Thanks, Dennis Schridde
