Hi,
I hope this it the right place, it is kernel related.
I have built a 2.4.17 kernel from source on a machine here, via make
mrproper, make xconfig, make bZimage, make mdules, make modules_install,
,make install. Im just repeating them here so that you can see what I have
done :-).
Checked the lilo.config, run /sbin/lilo and booted the machine.
When the machine boots it finds the kernel, lilo dosnt hang but I get this...
uncompressing linux. OK booting the kernel
Unknown bridge resourse at 0: assuming transparent
mkroot: mknod failed: 17
mount error 16 Mounting ext3 flags. Kernel panic no init found.
Try passing init=option to kernel.
The first two lines appear when I am booting from a 2.4.8 kernel, but things
load correctly there and the 2.4.8 kernel and modules were installed the same
way as the 2.4.17 version, so I am at a loss as to what I have missed.
Can someone help please

Actually, you need an initrd too:

Is your initrd set up to mount root as ext3? Under Red Hat, that
happens automatically if you have ext3 as the root fstype in
/etc/fstab when you run mkinitrd; I've no idea whether or not Mandrake
has the same magic.
