[solved] Error booting custom kernel built using makepkg

Hi,

I have problems booting a custom kernel built using makepkg... I'm not modifing any config. Just applying an acpi patch.

ERROR:

Root device '/dev/disk/by-uuid/b76ee42b-ee19-4626-8635-fe38086ca0e0' doesn't exist.
Attempting to create it.
ERROR: Unable to determine major/minor number of root device '/dev/disk/by-uuid/b76ee42b-ee19-4626-8635-fe38086ca0e0'.

initrd /kernel26.img

I've also tried to replace the uuid with /dev/sda3 without success.

Re: [solved] Error booting custom kernel built using makepkg

kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 ro quiet
initrd /kernel26-lt22.img

Shouldn't it be vmlinuz-lt22?
