Help Kernel Panic

Hi all,

I am running Fedora Core 2, kernel 2.6.5.

1- I have Compaq Presario laptop R3000, Intel PIV processor.

2- As I said, I am already running FC2 on this. This is the default setup from the installation CDs. Though I have altered the options during install, the kernel is what FC2 installs.

is to build from sources the kernel that already seems to be running fine. I was planning to start making my changes to the kernel after I could get it running fine first.

4- I did make menuconfig, and then saved the configuration without making any changes. The idea is to use the configuration that is already working fine.

5- Then: make dep; make clean; make bzImage;

6- Renamed the image at arch-i386-boot-bzImage as vmlinux.new and placed it atboot. (The pre-existing kernel was named vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.358)

7- Remaned the System.map as System.map.new and placed it atboot. (The pre-existing file was System.map-2.6.5-1.358).

8- Appended the following toboot-grub-grub.conf: breastle Linux (vkj) root (hd0,6) kernelboot-vmlinux.new ro root=LABEL=rhgb quiet initrdboot-initrd-2.6.5-1.358.img

9- make modules; make modulesinstall;

10- Reboot.

I get the following error messages: ----------------------

jbd: version magic '2.6.5-1.358 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-3.3' should be '2.6.5-1.358custom 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-3.3' insmod: error inserting '-lib-jbd.ko': -1 Invalid module format ERROR:bin-insmod exited abnormally! ext3: version magic '2.6.5-1358 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-3.3' should be '2.6.5-1.358custom 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKs gcc-3.3' insmod: error inserting '-lib-ext3.ko': -1 Invalid module format ERROR:bin-insmod exited abnormally! mount: error 19 mounting ext3 pivotroot: pivotroot(-sysroot,sysroot-initrd) failed:2 umountinitrd-proc failed:2 Kernel panic: No init found. Try pbutting init= option to kernel

-----------------------

Any help with this is much appreciated. I would like to mention that I tried all these steps first with kernel 2.6.12 and ran into the same problems. Then I had this bright idea of first trying the kernel that is already working there. Still the same problems.
