wondering about kernel panic

[Thomas Stivers]

Hi all. I am trying to compile a 2.2.18 kernel with speakup-0.10a and it
comes up talking, but immediately after it checks the partitions I get a
kernel panic vfs cannot mount root file system 03:41 I am doing this on a
umsdos file system and am wondering if I need to tell it that some how. If
so what should I do to get it to run? Thanks for any help. By the way I am
using a somewhat modified I.E. set to my preferences copy of zipspeakon
/dev/hdb1.
