I have installed RH8.0 in my system.
Then I have downloaded the linux kernel 2.4.18 and configured it and compiled it to get new image. I have used the old configuration(make oldconfig) with my RH8.0(2.4.18-14). when I boot into the new image,I have observed the following things form the /var/log/boot.log sshd:starting sshd sshd:execvp:no such file or directory sshd:failed rc:starting sshd:failed rpc.yppasswdd:execvp:no such file or directory yppasswdd:rpc.yppasswdd startup failed gpm:execvp:no such file or directory gpm:gpm startupj failed httpd:execvp:no such file or directory httpd:startup failed crond:execvp:no such file or directory crond:startup failed rc.sysinit:mounting proc filesystem succeeded sysctl:net.ipv4.ip_forward=0 net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter=1 net.ipv4.kernel.core_user_pid=1 rc.sysinit:configuring kernel parameters:succeeded mount:mount:mount point /proc/bus/usb does not exist rc.sysinit:mounting usb filesystem:failed modprobe:can't locate module hid Initaialising USB HID interface:failed modprobe:can't locate module keybdev Initialising USB keyboard failed modprobe:can't locate module mousedev Initialising USB MOUSE :failed mount:mount fs type ext3 not supported by kernel Mounting local filesystems :failed updfstab:execvp: no such file or directory kudzu: updating /etc/fstab failed iptables:modprobe iptables:failed iptables:can't locate module ip-tables iptables:perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded Also, the output of the command df , shows that all my partitions are of type ext3. Iam also unable to see the files or directories of home,misc,nfshome,initrd,opt,usr partitions while Iam able to see the files of root partition. Is it because I have specified in the /etc/lilo.conf as "root=/dev/hda1" Its not booting when I have given the option, append="root=LABEL=/" When my original image(RH8.0) is booting and working fine with this configuration and append="root=LABEL=/" in lilo.conf, why is my new image not working ? please think over this!!!!!!!!! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
