I neither use lilo nor grub. I use freedos 1.0 and
loadlin with a directory that holds the kernel and
initrd files:
loadlin.exe 2_6_27.gz initrd=initrd.gz root=/dev/sda6
and the above command fails with a kernel panic and a
warning that my method of indicating where the root
is is deprecated.
I suspect the kernel should work with Slackware 10.1.
I grabbed an unzipped copy of /proc/config.gz from
the old 2.6.10 kernel and fed that into the 2.6.27.39
xconfig script. In essence, I should have built the
same kernel with the same modules and any new
dependencies should have been satisfied.
Do I label the root partition as ROOT and set
root=LABEL=ROOT or something similar?
