Compling Kernel Problems

[casperinlove]

I had complied for many times, and the Fedora Core 3 show the same problems to me. Can anyone tell me what I had done wrong.

my kernel line in grub is

".... /vmlinz-2.6.11.5 ro root=/dev/hda2 hdd=ide-scsi"

I did try changed to
".... /vmlinz-2.6.11.5 ro root=/dev/hda2 init=/sbin/init"

Thank you! the messages as follows :

I had "/boot" in /dev/hda1, "/" in /dev/hda2.

I don't see any of the usual error messages in what you posted. Is there any more?
I've had SELinux and grsecurity lock me out of my box before, perhaps that's what's happening here. Have you defined any users/roles? Does SELinux use pax?

Is this:

If that's not the problem, then (as je_fro said) what is?

I found something very interesting in Fedora Core 3.

in the grub.conf, something as follows.

.
.
title linux (2.6.9-1.667)
root (hd0, 0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img
.
.


and the "/etc/fstab"

LABEL=/1 / ext3 ..... < ---- "/" "/dev/hda2"
LABEL=/boot/1 /boot ext3 ..... < ---- "/boot" "/dev/hda1"
. .
. .
. .
LABEL=SWAP-hda5 swap swap
.
.


I had try to uses "..... ro root=LABEL=/1" in my complied kernel, it show kernel panic. when I uses ".... ro root=/dev/hda2" then it show the last messages. Just don't know what to fix the problems.

Hope anyone can help.

That's too confusing.
Just paste in the entire grub.conf and fstab...don't edit it or change it. Make comments outside the paste blocks please.

thanks for you all to help me. Unfortunately, I still cannot figure out what is going on. I had try to write it out and start again for 3 times, the same things happen; I try to start from RH9 and complie again, let's see will be the same or not.
