Every kernel I compile (2.4.19, 2.4.20) craps out on boot with tons of
these errors:
blah blah: Read only file system

Procedure to create kernel:
make menuconfig
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules modules_install
make install


/boot/grub/menu.lst:
gfxmenu (hd0,5)/boot/message
color white/blue black/light-gray

"make install" puts vmlinuz and System.map in the root dir.

This is the 2.4.20 kernel straight from kernel.org.

Since I've tried it on different versions, it's obviously me.  What am I
doing wrong (other than hating kernel compiles)?  I've been at this for
over 7 hours, and have read numerous web pages telling me how easy it
is.  BS!
