[Tosif Ahmed]

Hi,

I compiled the 2.6.20 kernel with ramfs and initrd support, i am using
syslinux for booting the kernel,
and i am using a usb drive instead of a floppy drive,
after sometime of kernel loading i get the following error, i am writing the
last few messages i get

RAMDISK Compressed Image found at block 0
No filesystem could mount root, tried:
Kernel panic not - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(1,0)

I cannot make much of this message, someone plzz guide me.
