Hi guys,

Long time no post....

Anyway I just wanted to know how are you supposed to install/compile a kernel.

I followed daemon's links to the kernel documentation project and followed the steps listed there but it didn't work.

I kept getting an error about "Unable to mount root file system. Please append a proper label to root=".

I checked my grub.conf file and am certain it was configured properly.

The initrd image also seemed to be correct.

Could someone please tell me, step by step what I'm supposed to do to compile a kernel?

I'm using redhat 9.0, and I do not use scsi if that makes a difference....

Thanks for any help you can provide.... I'm also trying to compile kernel 2.4.21...
