Kernel error after compiling the 2.6.15.6

[help]Kernel panic!!!!

I have RHEL 4 AS running on kernel 2.6.9-5EL perfectly well. I installed and compiled the 2.6.15.6 and configured my grub to leave the 2.6.9-5EL the default. When i reboot and tell grub to boot the 2.6.15.6, i get these error messages:

mount: error 6 mounting ext3
mount: error 2 mounting none
switchroot: mount failed: 22
umount: /initrd/dev failed:22
Kernel panic-not syncing: Attempting to kill init!

I don't have /initrd directory, and i have a Dell 1800. And if i let him boot the 2.6.9-5EL it runs perfectly!!!!!
Anyone knows how we fix this problem?
thx

Quck serar on Google:

Do not set ext3 as module, include it in the kernel:

CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y
CONFIG_EXT3_FS_XATTR=y
CONFIG_EXT3_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
# CONFIG_EXT3_FS_SECURITY is not set

Good luck.

Did you build initrd also? Revisit .config for your kernel, maybe you skiped something.

Did you included SCSI in your kernel? Here is a URL on how to build the kernel:

http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html

initrd is build using mkinitrd, so that you can preload the modules needed to start the system.

You can use this command "make oldconfig" to get the configuration for the present kernel which is running fine. Then adjust the settings in the kernel compilation accordingly. It's much better than to make a new .config file from scrap where you might ending up with beating around the bushes.

Re: [help]Kernel panic!!!!

Looks like you didn't created the initrd image from kernel. After compiling the kernel do make the initrd image for that kenel using mkinitrd and specify it GRUB or LILO. Also you have to add support for initrd at the filesystem section and other related parts.
