(OLD) (ARCHIVED) Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

[hushpuppy]

I'm attempting to build a debian based version of puppy.

I've already successfully managed to get apt / dpkg to run on puppy 2.16, (just to see if it was feasable), so now am starting in earnest.

Basically i'm taking a barbones debian system, and using puppy's scripts.

I've replaced vmlinuz with the debian one, but get an error.

No filesystem could mount root, tried cramfs
Kernel Panic - not syncing VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0)

I guess this means the kernel doesnt have a supported filesystem compiled in, what will this be ? (squashfs ?), can anyone tell me anything else i need to compile in ?, I'm sure the info is out there somewhere, but couldnt find it with a quick search of the forums, and figured it's quicker to ask.

Anyone any advice / ideas for kernel recompile ?.
