[ale] 2.6.8.1 Kernel Panic

[Jamil Voss]

Hey, I am currently running a 2.4.21-0.16mm kernel, and I'm using Mandrake. 
I am trying to move to a 2.6.8.1 Kernel. I have compiled it and installed 
it; everything compiled perfectly normal as far as I know. Yet, when I tried 
to boot the new kernel I got a kernel panic (the first of a short series).

mount: error 19 mounting ext3 flags Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing 
init= option to Kernel.

--Then after messing around with the ext3 options in the config, I fixed 
that problem (well, in better words, "I changed the problem"). No I was 
getting this problem:

loading vmlinuz2681EBDA too big

--I tried to fix that, but couldn't find what to change in the config. I 
decided to just go ahead and try compiling it with the config from the 
kernel I am currently using. I now get this message:

Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (34,1)

I get that message only when booting using grub. When I use lilo it says 
something like "loading linux..." and stays that way.

Any help would be appreciated. I am eventually going to install an echo 
layla24 multi-track recorder, but I wanted to first update my kernel.
