[MeeGo-dev] Compiling and Booting to 2.6.34 kernel

[adhyas.avasthi at nokia.com]

This morning I synced my kernel sources tree and compiled a fresh 2.6.34 kernel without changing the configurations. The resulting bzImage panics with 100% frequency. It says Cannot open root device "sda2" or unknown-block(0,0). Please append a correct root= boot option;

My extlinux.conf file reads sda2 as root file system for the default installed image as well as the newly compiled kernel image. The default installed image with 2.6.33-11 kernel boots fine on sda2.
The steps I follow to compile are these:

* git pull <kernel sources from meego>
* ./scripts/sequence-patch.sh
* make -f Makefile.conf
* cd tmp/linux-2.6.34-master
* cp ../../kernel-netbook.config .config
* make ARCH=x86 oldconfig (Enter all the way)
* make ARCH=x86; make modules_install
* cp arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/extlinux/vmlinuz-2.6.34-netbook
* cp arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.34-netbook
* edit /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf to have another entry for this vmlinuz (boot command copied which says root=/dev/sda2)
* reboot and try to boot to the new image, which panics with 100% frequency

Is there something I may be doing wrong? I have file Bug 2942 for this.

Thanks,
