need help with 2.6.6 kernel please

[cgkanchi]

Remove the initrd line and see if it boots. The initrd isn't really required for the kernel to boot as shrekkie said.

Cheers,

do the next in a shell and give us the output. That way we can compare your conf against what really is in the dir.
I'm sure you already know the commands, but here are they anyway.

#mount /boot
#cd /boot
#ls -la

i tried mount /boot...nothing, i didnt set it up as a partation the only linux partations i have are an ext3 and a swap

ok this is what has happened as of late
i accidently deleted something prowling around as root and i had to reinstall *not good enough at linux to know how to repair*
so im going of a fresh install
what i was doing before was correct but i was just doing stuff in the wrong order or something

but i did install the 2.6.6 kernel and it will boot to it but when i do i get a kernel panic that their is no init found
but when i boot to linux.current *2.4.20-31.9* or linux.failsafe *2.4.20-8* it will say init V 2.84 booting

do i have to edit my init file to include the new kernel?

Like i said before, drop the init-line in your bootloader config. Its not necessary to boot, but it can break up stuff if not configed properly.

Your bootsplash will not be as pretty, but at least it'll work.

didnt work
this is the output

vfs: cannot open root device "label=/" or unknown-block (0,0)
please append a correct "root=/" boot option
kernel panic: vfs: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0)
