Hi, everyone, Please bare with me - have not compiled a new kernel since the days of 1st edition of Yggdrasil ;( - so - just recently got the new ...-24mdk source from the updates, happily installed the source from the rpm, and - confident in my ability of getting in trouble - got into the source directory and did carry out the "standard" compilation, using as a refresher:
http://www.justlinux.com/nhf/Compiling_Kernels/Updating_a_Kernel.html and http://www.justlinux.com/nhf/Compiling_Kernels/20_Steps_to_a_New_Kernel_with_Grub.html I have "tweaked" the above to be able to salvage the old stuff - just backups of all my stuff, nothing to mess the new compilation, though (which is why I am still able to boot and send you this message), but my new stuff totally failed me, and here is what I get scrolling by my screen, when booting into the new kernel: busybox: unresolved symbol drop_super_Rc64cc0dd4 kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k reiserfs, errno=2 kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k freereiserfs, errno=2 kernel panic: no init found ... and that's it. I know I compiled everything with the same options I had in the original distro installation ... so - does anybody have a pointer for me? Have you done the ...-24mdk yet? Any other way of doing this, that I may not be aware of (in today's mcc world, I may have lost touch with the automation processing, and - perhaps - there is an automatic compilation based on existing - somehow identified - configuration, which would do everything without the need for "make menuconfig" and baby steps?!?)? Thx, Stef
