I went and picked up the cooker kernel (source rpm) and build it to try and address some major hardware problems I have.
I built the kernel, and installed it (make menuconfig, make dep, make bzImage, make modules, make modules_install). I updated lilo.conf and added a new entry as I kept the new kernel separate from my existing kernel. well the kernel panic'd. Didn't boot at all. I get messages about reiserfs and stuff but I can't read them as they fly by too fast. I looked under /var/log but couldn't find the messages. Where would the boot log for these failed boots be stored (what file?) It seems as though my boot doesn't get far enough to start writing the log to a file. Here are some of the messages that I can read: kmod: failed to exec modprobe -s -k freereiserfs errno=2 mount: error 19 mounting reiserfs flags notail pivotroot:pivot_root (/sysroot, /sysroot/initrd) failed 2 any idead? I compiled in reiserfs suppport but it doesn't look good! Darren
