Hi
I successfully patched and compiled 2.4.18-ac1, no problems.
But when I try to boot the system, the kernel is unable to mount the 
root filesystem (/dev/hdf2):

request_module[block-major-33]: Root fs not mounted
VFS: Cannot open root devices "hdf2" or 21:42
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 21:42

The bootloader-options are correct, a 2.4.18 kernel with exactly the 
same config-options has no problems with mounting the root fs.
hdf is secondary master, connected to a Promise UDMA 100 controller on 
an ASUS A7V.

The boot-option in grub.conf looks like

title Linux-ac(2.4.18-ac1)
        root (hd1,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-ac1 ro root=/dev/hdf2 hdc=ide-scsi
title Linux (2.4.18)
        root (hd1,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18 ro root=/dev/hdf2 hdc=ide-scsi

but only 2.4.18 works.
Is this a bug or did I miss anything?

Microsoft is a cross between The Borg and the Ferengi. 
Unfortunately they use Borg to do their marketing and Ferengi to do 
their programming.
