    Hi,

    I recently compiled 2.6.3 kernel. When I try to boot
    from it, after lots of messages, I get the following
    message and system gets into hung state. However, if I
    choose the old 2.2.20 kernel of woody 3.0r2 it boots
    fine. I followed the normal steps of compiling the
    kernel.
    make xconfig
    make dep
    make clean
    make bzImage
    make modules
    make modules_install
    make install

    -----------------<error>------------------------------
    VFS: Cannot open root device "301" or
    unknown-block(3,1)
    Please append a correct "root=" boot option
    Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown
    block(3,1)
    -----------------</error>------------------------------

    Regards.
    Ajitabh Pandey
