kernel panic after recompile

[Geoff Rainey (DSL AK)]

Frustrating - I have had this many times, and it requires a thorough understanding on both the recompilation details and the boot process. It will be something like your kernel cannot mount the root filesystem and this is because either you do not have the disk device drivers compiled into the kernel, or they are not included in the initial RAM disk image which makes device drivers available for the kernel during the boot process.

I guess, you took RH config file as basic for your custom kernel and already read RH "building custom kernel" manual; if no, you should do it.

And off-topic question - are you sure you need re-compile kernel? In many cases you may customize kernel without re-compilation.

Hello,

I'm trying to recompile my kernel from the original source but when
booting from it I get kernel panic.

Where do I begin troubleshooting this?
