Hi,
I was compiling the 2.4.18 kernel as a practice run and when I booted
thru it I recieved a message during boottime:
Kernel panic: VFS unable to mount root fs on 03:05.
any clues why?
I run the Debian woody release.
also when I boot thru my working kernel, I get a message during boottime:
spurious 8259A interrupt : IRQ7
any ideas?
thanx in advance,
