I am a recent convert to RH9 and have been trying to compile a kernel to allow dual head video support for my matrox g400-tv card. Here is the main tutorial I was following: http://www.intel.com/support/platform/pentium4/linux.htm
I used xconfig , and the compilation process seemed to go fine (no errors were display when I got the command prompt back) from running the following. make dep make clean make bzImage make modules My problem came at "Next, you have to copy the appropriate files so that linux can boot from the new kernel." I copied the vmlinuz image created by the compilation to /boot/vmlinuz-matrox. I then edited grub's conf file by copy-and-pasting my current RH boot section and simply changing the label and pointing the vmlinuz-matrox as the kernel to load. When booting I got an error very quickly. I have been searching for a grub multi-boot kernel tutorial and have read most of the applicable grub user-guide, but to no avail. If someone could point out a good tutorial or give a few things to try, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance. -- Travis - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
