Harrowing Experience

Well, I've been running "make menuconfig" on my kernel all night, adding one off things, trying to get my 2.6 Debian off the ground. The 2.6 kernel keeps reporting that it can't "mount the root fs, unknown-block(3,3)". So far I've had to add all the obvious things like:
  • IDE/ATA Support
  • EXT2 as a Compiled-in module, not a loadable module.
  • MSDOS Partition Tables
  • Intel PIIXn chipset support - just added this, and it's compiling, we'll see if it works.
Hopefully that will work. Once I've got the thing running I'll list out all the tweaks I put in.
