About some 4 days ago, through slashdot , i got to know that linus has launched linux kernel 2.6.23 so I thought why not to try my hand on this kernel and i decided to compile it. well guys in the night at around 3 am i downloaded the code ..with a cool download speed of 100kbps i was able to download it very quickly..then i followed instructions from an article available at This.
first i got confused in menuconfig , which options to select which not , but the somehow changed default configuration a little bit. After it , i issued make which took a loooooong time. then some other steps mentioned and finally i got the grub entries as per rquired in grub.conf ( thank god !).
but it was not over yet ..i booted the system and then selected the new kernel version , but oops the booting halted after saying that it could not find /dev/root . I was wondering where the hell did /dev/root came from as there was no such entry in grub.conf . Then i tried asking this question in linux forum and got some replies ..which i'll try tomorrow.
