Hello linux team !!!!

I am using REDHAT 9.0, i have downloaded kernel from www.kernel.org (kernel version is 2.6.0) linux-2.6.0.tar.gz. I have done the following steps to update the kernel :-

1) copied linux-2.6.0.tar.gz to  /usr/src

2) next extracted tar -xzf linux-2.4.22.tar.gz to /usr/src directory

3) created a symbolic link  
cd /usr/src
ln -s linux-2.4.22 /usr/src/linux

4) changed the directory
cd /usr/src/linux

5) now issued the following commands

make xconfig
make  dep
make clean
make modules
make modules_install
make bzImage
taken a backup of old kernal (grub.conf)
make install

installation complets and rebooted the system to the new kernel 2.6.0
but the new kernel is giving the following error likes...
...
......
...........
...................

mounting root filesystems
moun:error 19 mounting ext3
pivotroot:pviot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed:2
umount /initrd/proc failed:2
Freein unused kernel memory:232k freed
Kernel Panic:No init found. Try passing init=option to kernel

What is this Error ?? What changes to be done to boot to the New Kernel2.60.

Plz give me steps to do...

Thanks

Sathish.

did you check your grub.conf ..... is it referring to the new kernel path ?

Hi !!
