    i compiled the 2.6.7 kernel from source using make-kpkg. when i
    boot i get this:

    UDF-fs: No partition found (1)
    Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown block(3,4)

    /dev/hda4 is the root partition and has /boot on it as well. it's
    an ext3 partition. i have no UDF partitions to my knowledge.

    kernel options that may have relevance that i set for 2.6.7 are:

    CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y
    CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y
    CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y
    CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y
    CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE=16384
    CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y
    CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y
    CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y

    worse, my old 2.4.18 kernel no longer works. i'm assuming this
    means that what i'm doing wrong is something trivial & stupid.
    my current lilo.conf is:

    boot=/dev/hda
    compact
    lba32
    timeout=200
    prompt

    # To use the new LILO boot menu, add the following
    bitmap=/boot/debianlilo.bmp
    bmp-table=109p,148p,1,7
    bmp-colors=0,15,8,15,1,7
    bmp-timer=514p,144p,0,15

    # don't think this is needed:
    #install=/boot/boot-bmp.b

    map=/boot/map
    vga=normal
    delay=20
    default=Linux
    image=/vmlinuz
            label = Linux
    # i've tried commenting out read-only, but to no avail
            read-only
            initrd=/initrd.img
            root=/dev/hda4

    image=/vmlinuz.old
            label = "Linux 2.4"
            read-only
            append = "hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi"
            initrd=/initrd.img.old
            root=/dev/hda4

    other=/dev/hda1
            label="Windows 98"

    thanks in advance for any help,
    macho
