Check if you also built the initrd the same way as the distributed one, i.e. examine their contents. If it was, try booting an own kernel and initrd built from FC6's 2.6.18-* sources. If that fails too, build a kernel with all drivers compiled in which you know you need to access the root FS. If that kernel still fails to mount the root FS, look for any earlier error messages in the boot sequence. -- Stefan Richter -=====-=-=== ---= -=-== http://arcgraph.de/sr/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
