I have built and installed the 2.4.21-0.18mdk kernel three times now without error. I have also generated the initrd and run lilo with success post build. Thus far it has been impossible to bootup the kernel, however. I can bootup my stock 2.4.21-0.13mdk and -0.13mdkcustom but cannot begin to boot 2.4.21-0.18mdkcustom (same config as -0.13mdkcustom). All I get is a black/blank screen after lilo. No errors, no kernel panic message, nothing. Then, after about 2 seconds, the system reboots and this cycle will continue forever (linux default bootup of course). I cannot even start it in failsafe. At the moment I am back to 2.4.21-0.13mdkcustom until/unless I can get a working -0.18mdk build. My system is an AMD Athlon XP2700+ with MSI KT333 mobo. Mandrake 9.1 with all the pertinent updates save the kernel, of course. Anyone see this sort of thing before? Have any ideas how to get a bootup or even a kernel panic out of this? praedor
