New Kernel with Speakup and ZIPSPEAK

[Dietmar Segbert]

Hello,

i use zipspeak ud want to compile a nwe kernel, so that all my hardware  
ist installed.
I have downloaded the kernel 2.4.188 an speakup-1.00.
Then i have done the following steps:

cd /usr/src
rm -r speakup*
rm -r linux*tar xzf speakup-1.00.tgz
tar xzf linux-2.4.18.tgz
cd speakup-1.00
./install
cd ../linux
make mrproper
make config (i have only done the steps for speakup)
make dep
make bzImage
mv /vmlinuz /vmlinuz.old
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /vmlinuz
cp System.map /boot/system.map
shutdown -r now

I load linux with loadlin and not with lilo. lilo ist not on my harddisk.
I have not become any errors during the compilation of the kernel. At the  
end was only a warning: kernel ist to great for a floppydisk

After rebooting i start linux with linux.bat form the dos-prompt. My apolo  
speaks kernel 2.4.18 and so on. My hardware ist detected and then comes a  
message:

can not mount /root fs
Kernel panik

What can i do or does this kernel not work with Zipslack (zipslack)?

Thanks.
Dietmar
