I recently tried to compile a kernel, all went well - no errors or
probs., but when I try to boot with the new kernel, it gets so far and
then stops with the following message:

VFS: Cannon open root device 03:05
Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:05

I'm using Redhat 5.1 and with kernel 2.0.36 - the default kernel from
the RPM's boots and works perfectly. I'm fairly certain I have all the
necessary things compiled into the new kernel (i.e: ext2 fs & proc). The
error occurs whether I boot the new kernel from floppy or hard disk.

Can anyone help?
