Using the Deb file, I got a warning about the fact that there was no initrd.img file on the drive. The 2.2 Kernel I has didn't need it.
The compile appeared to run just fine however, on bootup I got a Panic with a "Cannot open root device "301" error.
Reading docs, it talked about making sure that IDE had been enabled when setting the kernel options, which I tunned on the Generic IDE Hard Drive option.
Anyone got an idea?Running an amd 2.4 motherboard, pretty standard Seagate IDE 80 GB hard drive.
