Hey.
I've recently installed Debian on my laptop, and when I try to use the kernel that I compiled (or the default kernel for that matter), Linux kernel panics with the following output:
VFS: Cannot open root device
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
VFS: Unable to mount root device
Now, of course, I've appended a "root=" option, and done everything that I know to make it work. I can boot off of the rescue CD, but not from the hard drive. It doesn't matter if I use LILO or Grub.
Any ideas? Google doesn't turn up a whole bunch of useful info.
