2.6.19 does not boot, while 2.6.19-rc4 does

[Norbert Preining]

Hi all!

[Please Cc]

I copied my old config-2.6.19-rc4 to a clean linux-2.6.19 tree, called
make oldconfig; make, installed the kernel and modules, but the kernel
cannot find the root file system.

I diffed the two config files and the only not-comment diff is:
-# CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL is not set
+CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL=y
(how did this happen?)


a part of the dmesg is included here (from -rc4):

libata version 2.00 loaded.

Any suggestions what to do next?

Best wishes
