Maybe you show it to me?

i solved the problem but there is another problem when i try to boot my new kernel i get a prompt that say mountroot> and i can only mount readonly filesystem

for this you have to escape to loader prompt (the main menu, press space to stop counter) and do this:
# unload kernel
# boot /boot/kernel.old/kernel

it worked for me when i first screwed up the kernel on my own :"> ...

hmmm ...this is beginning to be annoying! it's the 3rd time now, and i still can't have my custom kernel! :evil:
i know i did everything by the book, i didn't eliminate anything in the config that my system does have, everything clean, nice, but ... :(
am i missing something? i'll dig some more...

that's the tricky part of making a custom kernel

example: ATA needs key components from SCSI to work, so removing all the SCSI devices leaves you with a non-running system

Playing wirh Generic kernel config is just fine, it is better to add features and remove only when you know exactly what are you doing.

Always read NOTES file!
