Hi everybody in list!

I was trying to recompile kernel for setting up root encryption - after 
copying ubuntu kernel config. and setting some kernel options following 
loop-AES readme (you can see them at the end of this mail), it ended up 
with kernel panic.
{ Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 
unknown-block(0,0) }
What could be wrong?

"All kernel subsystems needed by root file system (IDE drivers,
ext2/ext3/reiserfs/whatever) must be compiled directly into kernel."
- which kernel parameters make this real? How to find them?
