Re: [gNewSense-users] kernel compilation

[Franky Almonte]

Just i want to say that this problem is solved.I didn't have
'ata_piix' (serial ata) kernel driver configured, so the system didn't
see the hard disk when it's booting. And the initrd wasn't configured.

For initrd:
address@hidden:/usr/src/linux $ sudo mkinitrd -k -o /boot/initrd.img
<kernel version>

and put it in menu.lst's grub config file.

And it's done. Now I'm happy with my new kernel. :)

Thanks.
