Re: kernel compile - Unable to mount root fs

Did you build and install your initrd? You might need to load a
module to mount your root filesystem, and if so it should be in the
initrd.

The initrd also needs to be named in your grub entry.

It's not enough just to build and install the module, because those
are accessible only after your root fs is mounted!
