    using: Redhat-enterprise WS version 3

    I just built a custom kernel using the 2.4.21-20.EL source rpm. it simply
    does not boot and claims a VFS error and is unable to open root device "LABEL=/"

    here is a screen picture of the error:

    I dont know what exactly I need to do here. what is a safe, easy way to fix
    this problem so I can boot my custom kernel.

    --- cat /etc/fstab ---

    # cat /etc/fstab
    LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
    LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
    none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
    none /proc proc defaults 0 0
    none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
    /dev/sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
    /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660
    noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0

    --- snip ---

    cheers,

    Noah
