Well, how did you install the kernel that you are having problems with? |
| 13 |
You need to compile your own kernel as per the instructions, making sure |
| 14 |
to include ReiserFS and ext2 support, Virtual Memory Filesystem support, |
| 15 |
and devfs support (*without* the "mount at boot option.) You will also |
| 16 |
need to have support for IDE or SCSI, including disk support. All these |
| 17 |
options need to be *compiled in* to the kernel; they cannot be modules. |
