Linux hangs after VFS mounting root readonly

Hello,

I'm new here and don't know of the right place here for this
question.

I'm try to use an ISDN conection to my ISP okay.net. After
my opinion be able to connect I got an error message
(like this):
Sorry - kernel don't provide PPP

So I tried out to rebuilt my kernel with this file generated
by make config (see at end).

In my book I read that I have to do some make commands:
-------------------------------------------------------------

make dep
make zImage
make modules
make modules_install

cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage /zImage
cp /usr/src/linux/System.map /System.map.new

cd /

cp vmlinuz vmlinuz.orginal
cp System.map System.map.orginal

mv zImage vmlinuz
mv System.map.new System.map

After all commands have to do, I have to use my other
Linux system to execute the command:

lilo

-------------------------------------------------------------

Now I am able too test my new kernel.

It hangs after this line:
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.

If I use my old kernel (from floppy :-)) the system
is still booting.

Has anybody an idea, where I do something wrong?

I think this files below will help you about my system
and the configuration causing this problem.

Thanks a lot Lothar
