Hello All,

I have installed Redhat 4.0 on my system and have been trying to 
recompile a new kernel for PPP support so I can dial in to my ISP
I have gone through all the steps (many times) and placed the 
compressed zImage file in /boot and renamed it, added lines to
lilo.conf and ran lilo, all ok so far! but when I reboot my system
using the new kernel it loads about a screenful and then stops at
the line for 'VFS'.
The message reads, "Kernel Panic:VFS:Unable to mount root fs on 03:03"
and the machine hangs, could anyone offer me assistance with this
problem.

Thanks, Richard Ashton.
