Kernel Panic After 2.2.1 Compilation!

[Steve Ki-Won Lee <kiwon ugrad cs ualberta ca>]

Greetings!

I got just that after compiling 2.2.1.  I guess I should've expected as
such.  This is the message I get after which it just hangs and I have to
reboot by the 3-finger salute:

Partition check:
request_module[ide-disk]: Root fs not mounted
hdb: driver not present
VFS: Cannot open root device 03:41
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount fs on 03:41

I have 2 HDs in my box, one is hda which has windows on it and hdb of
course has our much beloved Linux.  Why is it requesting a module
"[ide-disk]"?  And I don't understand why it's saying "hdb: driver not
present".  And what's VFS?  I never got these errors with 2.0.36, so I'm
not familiar with the terms.  I'd really appreciate it if you could throw
me a rope and suggest some solutions to this problem.  Thank you very much
in advance.

With Best,

Steve
