OK, I got a new laptop, and i want to compile a custom kernel. for it.

Specs

SUSE 8.0
kernel 2.4.18
PIV Mobile
Reiser FS 3.6.25

When i make bzImage i get a message at the end that says: "root device is (3, 7)Then i do the make module, modules_install and set up lilo with the new entry.



When I try to boot it tells me that it it is unable to mount the root filesystem, on device 3:07, Please append a new root"=".

I assume that new root"=" means in Lilo. My / partition is on hda7, i have a line in the new Lilo entry that says root = /dev/hda7. just like the stock kernel.

Now, first i thought i had Reiser selected as a module, but its compiled in. I have no idea. where to go from here.

Is support for your IDE controller built-in?

That is just a typo right? You used make modules with the s on the end?

Yes that was a typo, and no ididn't have the IDE controller built in or support for ELF binaries, but that's all fixed now. thanks alot for the posts.
