Compiled own kernel, didn't work, neither does default

I tried recompiling the kernel and failed miserably, so then I tried installing the old one which I had still cached on my system, and now I get kernel panics and it says that it cannot find the init. I did try running mkinitcpio -p kernel26, but it still gives me the same thing. Help please, I want to get off horrid Vista and back to my safe haven which is Arch. sad

Re: Compiled own kernel, didn't work, neither does default

Perhaps you did some bad things to your grub config while playing with the new kernel?

Tried booting with kernel26-fallback.img?

How did you play with the new kernel? Using ABS or using classic "make menuconfig && make && make install"? How did the recompilation fail?

No, I did the changes temporarily, but none perminant.

I used the wiki to compile it with ABS. It failed because I forgot to set it to be able to read EXT partitions, which it is located on.
