kernel compiles - help

[George Toft]

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
default 0
timeout 8

title linux
   kernel (hd0,5)/boot/vmlinuz root=3D/dev/hda6   vga=3D791
   initrd (hd0,5)/boot/initrd
title mosix
   kernel (hd0,5)/vmlinuz root=3D/dev/hda6       vga=3D791
   initrd (hd0,5)/boot/initrd
title windows

   initrd (hd0,5)/boot/initrd.shipped



"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!
