You missed make modules_install (see comment below). > # make install // below > > tools/build -b bbootsect bsetup compressed/bvmlinux.out CURRENT > > bzImage > Root device is (8, 7) > Boot sector 512 bytes. > Setup is 2621 bytes. > System is 1156 kB > warning: kernel is too big for standalone boot from floppy > sh -x ./install.sh 2.4.20-8custom bzImage > /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/System.map "" > + '[' -x /root/bin/installkernel ']' > + '[' -x /sbin/installkernel ']' > + exec /sbin/installkernel 2.4.20-8custom bzImage > /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/System.map '' > /lib/modules/2.4.20-8custom is not a directory. The above is caused because you did not do make modules_install . > mkinitrd failed > make[1]: *** [install] Error 1 > make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/arch/i386/boot' > make: *** [install] Error 2 > > # make modules_install // no errors Too late, that is of no good at this stage. I have a help page for makeing a kernel at; http://people.zeelandnet.nl/pa3gcu/kernel.htm It may well help you in compiling, there is no ifo on grub tho'. > > Thanks again for all your help in sorting through this with me. > > -- Travis Regards Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.zeelandnet.nl/pa3gcu/ - 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
