Good listers,
I'm having a problem with compiling my own Kernel (I have done so several
times sucessfully in the past on RH5.2) but on RH6.0....
I do all the 'propper' things, in the propper order and get zImage which I
then move to /boot, update lilo.conf and lilo.. all seems in order..
However when I re-boot (their must be a way of 'running' a new kernel
without rebooting) the start-up gets as far as 'FINDING MODULE
DEPENDANCIES' the HD flashes for a while then all is silent (even leaving
the system wait for 10+ minutes it didn't carry on).
No problem I thought, I'll just re-boot with my old working kernel and see
what I did wrong... Unfortunately the old (used to work) kernel suffers
the same fate (ie : FINDING MODULE DEPENDANCIES and hanging).
So what gives ?. I'm a newbie and I'm stumped ?.
What did I do that broke BOTH kernels. I re-installed from the CD and the
old Kernel image works again (remember this is the exact same backup image
that refused to work in the steps above).
Possibly I've broken one of the modules ? (ie : make modules or make
modules_install) but I really wan't to use an optimized Kernel for my box
but each time I re-compile I have to go through the whole re-install
process again.
Can anyone shed any light for me ?. What other information do you require
?.(I _think_ the release level is 2.2.15 but I'm going of memory on this one)
Thanks heaps in advance.
