Hi, I compiled my own kernel based on 2.4.21 sources, patched as described in developer guide from J. Nilo located here:
http://leaf.sourceforge.net/article.php?sid=62 I patched kernel sources with appropriated patches -grzsec, freeswan etc. I compiled bzImage and modules successfully. Then I tried compress bzImage by UPX utility, but even if I compile with i386 support UPS utility returned error that file is not for i386 platform and therefore canot be compressed. In current stable UPS release switch -f (force compresion) doesn§t work so I used beta version 1.90 where force switch is active. So I created compressed linux kernel. Then I replaced modules in modules.lrp bz theirs new version, replaces linux kernel file in root and removed modules from initrd package - I do not need to insert modules at boot even I use HDD - because I compiled IDE support directly into kernel. Then I booted from floppy with freedos and syslinux and run syslinux C: command to make disk bootable for new kernel. Then I've tried to boot from IDE HDD. When initrd is unpacking system is rebooted with no error message. What I did wrong? What I should do to boot new kernel version? Is there something special in initrd except modules which I deleted? Can I use non compresed version of bzImage - not to use upx if I have a lot of space on my hdd? Thanks for help.
