<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have compiled a new kernel and put the bzImage
in</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>/boot/kernel-2.6.5/bzImage (boot is a separate
partition).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I opened my grub.conf file and added:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>title Kernel 2.6.5</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>root hd(0,2) =>this line was like that in the
old kernel config so i copied it to the new config</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>kernel /kernel-2.6.5/bzImage root=/dev/sda6 ro
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and I think that the last line is the cause of the
problem. I get an error message that says that linux cannot mount.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>but my Howto (yeah I'm like super-newbie) said that
I had </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to check the output from df and take the device
that had the '/' mount point and that was /dev/sda6</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyway,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>somewhere I must have made a big
mistake</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It would be nice if someone could correct
me</FONT></DIV>
