Hey guys I REALLY need some assistance with this one
kernels 2.4.17-20mdk-1-1, kernel-enterprise-2.417-21mdk & kernel 2.4.17-21mdk-1-1.. The original culprit was "make xconfig", it did'nt make the config file, just said it did. both the generic 2.4.17 kernel and kernel 2.4.17-20 compiled and even the modules built and loaded., when "make menuconfig " bwas used. the current kernel is 2.4.17-2, and is stable running my compile of 2.4.17-20 mdk completly killed X , put the monitor in to standby mode, locked out the keyboard, killed the ps2 mouse driver, and somehow effected the bios " gave error message slave ide fail" PC powered down rebooted on 2.4.17-2mdk-1-1, X failed to start and XFdrake produced errors and no config tests worked.....considered this was my fault due to inexperiance. Complete reinstall 8.1 , downloaded kernel 2.4.17-20mdk-1-1, installed with later versions of iptables 1.2.4-2mdk, mkinitrd-3.1.6-27mdk,findutils-4.1.7-3mdk ran with kernel 2.4.17-20mdk-1-1, OK into the consol, started X...and got exactly the same effect as the kernel I built, this time it did'nt cause the "slave ide fail "on reboot. Another fresh install of 8.1 as before but this time with kernel-2.4.17-21mdk-1-1, as before ,now getting very frustrated ! another virgin install of 8.1 this time ran 2.4.17-2mdk, no problems, I also use d EXT3 to help recover from bad shutdowns. so loaded in kernel-enterprise-2.4.17-21mdk-1-1, this time very similar crashed X and killed the ps2 mouse driver, but this time I could rerun with 2.4.17-2mdk,,,but only KDE remains Gnome desktop has departed ! There is no indication in syslog of whats causing this, on all occasions I 've also tried remote access, but in each case the machine was completly hung. system details AMD duron 700MHz 512MB ram ,ATI Radeon VE 64Mb, hansol 710a mon. I have tried 2.4.17-10mdk, but this caused problems with iptables. /var/log/kernel/warnings show these kernels listed as mandrake 8.2, are they backward compatable with 8.1 ????, If I could find a mirror that will give a download speed on > 40k/sec, I'll try 8.2 beta3,,but has anyone got 8.2 beta3 running with an ATI Radeon card installed If there is no backward compatability 8,2 will go down like a lead ballon please will someone take this seriously TIA Richard On Sunday 24 February 2002 9:49 pm, you wrote: > > please, send me the config that you are tryingn to compile, please, it > > works for me (tm), and you are not the first nor the second having > > problems with it, and I am not able to reproduce them :( > > > > I am able to compile with gcc-2.96 & gcc-3.0.4. > > > > if possible, told me what you do step by step, i.e. > > > > urpme kernel-source-2.4.17.20mk > > rpm -Uvh kernel-source > > cd /usr/src/linux > > make mrproper > > create your config for your preferred method > > make dep > > make clean > > make bzImage modules > > make modules_install > > make modules > > > > If it fails, a log of this all will be nice. > > I can not build a customized kernel (either -20 or -21) from scratch. > Here are the steps I took: > > rpm -ihv kernel-source-2.4.17-21mdk.i586.rpm > pushd /usr/src/linux*21mdk > edit Makefile to change EXTRA_VERSION to '-21acs' > make mrproper > make menuconfig > make dep > make -j3 bzImage > > This last gets an error on 3rdparty, even though I've attempted not to > use any 3rdparty code. > > You'll notice I'm not using modules; maybe that's the why you haven't > seen the problem, Juan.
