I wanted to try installing my Win4Lin 9x 5.0 software, so I unzipped my vanilla kernel source (2.6.11.12 - the newest patch they have for SMP kernels) into /usr/src and changed the symlink. I applied the Win4Lin patches. I wanted the config of my currently running kernel, so I said "make oldconfig" (make oldconfig does do that, right?) I didn't turn on the Win4Lin support yet because I wanted to see if I could get the old kernel to work without it first. I set up the kernel in my /boot/grub/grub.conf file, just like my other kernels. Pretty routine. When I tried to boot with 2.6.11.12, I got this: <quote> Booting 'Linux 2.6.11.12' root (hd0,1) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type is 0x83 kernel /kernel-2.6.11.12 real_root=/dev/sda udev Error 13: Invalid or unsupported execution format </quote>

I booted with the top kernel, so I know those settings are correct, with the only changes in the filenames. What am I missing here? -Michael Sullivan- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
