I doubt if it makes any difference, but have you altered
your compilation sequence, to see if you get better results?
For example:
make dep clean modules modules_install bzImage
and then copy bzImage to /vmlinuz?
Also, did you run depmod -a right after compilation?
Later in the boot process, make sure that kerneld
(or kmod??) is started, so that modules can be
loaded as needed.
Another thing you might want to try is this: when you
you run makeconfig (or whatever you use to set how the
kernel will be compiled), try building a bare-bones, stripped
down, just-the-absolute-essentials kernel. Like, leave out the
sound support, network stuff, joystick, etc, etc. (you get the idea).
Leave out anything that is not essential to the goal of getting a
login:, password:, and shell prompt on your screen!
Make sure you have support for your boot drive (SCSI or IDE?),
and the filesystem (ext2fs ?) compiled in the kernel, not modules.
In fact, when you run your configure script, don't compile
ANYTHING as a module (paradoxically, you SHOULD still compile
in the module support); compile everything into the kernel. Once
you have a minimal kernel that will at least boot, you can then start
adding more features back to your configuration, as well as compiling
some things as loadable modules (you don't want too big of a kernel).
I'm no expert, just a person who has walked in your shoes :) The main
thing is to keep your kernel as lean and simple as possible until you
can actually get it to boot, then start adding the bells and whistles.
Good luck, I hope you can solve your problem soon.

My dhcp gets a new ip address from my ADSL. Once in a while it get a new
hostname from the dhcp.
As root, set your hostname to a generic hostname.
# hostname localhost.localdomain
Your default hostname (localhost.localdomain) will remain until it get a new
hostname from dhcp.

Check your /etc/conf.modules to see if it has the scsi entries in it.
Here are my entries for my scsi card
alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
options aha152x aha152x=0x340,10,7,1
create initial ramdisk images for preloading modules
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.2.14-6.1.1.img 2.2.14-6.1.1
in your lilo.conf file, to load the modules.
add the following line
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.14-6.1.1.img
now create a new lilo
# /sbin/lilo
And always make a backup of those files I described, just in case you
mess up or you get lousy advice :)

No, this is not a hangup (I guess). Start Netscape, have a cup of
coffee[1] and see what happened in meantime. Netscape makes a DNS-lookup
and if he is not online, he waits a few minutes. If you are online and
Netscape starts, then is the Solution: put the Server of your ISP in your
/etc/hosts[2]. But maybe he really hangs. There could be a problem
with the Busmaster-some-any-dontknow-thing. On the german Suse-sdb is
a update for Netscape with Busmaster-(t)error.

I've found fetchmail's daemon mode to be unreliable; every so often it
encountered some kind of transient networking error and decided to die
with a SIGTERM. Since the only record of this was in the logfile it
wrote (otherwise it just looked like I was getting no mail), it reached
the point where I had to write a cron job which mailed me if the last
line of the logfile was "Terminated with signal 15" or whatever. This
all seemed rather silly, so I switched to using cron for fetchmail
itself.
After all, as a friend of mine put it, cron is the bit of your system
that's *designed* to run processes at regular intervals.

No, by no means should you reinstall. Here's what to do:
1) Boot from the installation CD, and when the installation menu comes
up, press Alt-F2 to get a command prompt (very simple shell-- can't
remember its name).
2) Mount the partition that has your kernel in it, e.g. if it's
/dev/hda5,
mount /dev/hda5 /mnt
3) Make a boot floppy from your new kernel. If the kernel name is
bzImage, then
dd < bzImage > /dev/fd0
4) Reboot using your new boot floppy, and rerun lilo.
Then keep that boot floppy on hand! You may also want to have a set of
rescue floppies on hand-- go to
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/frozen/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/,
download rescue.bin and root.bin, and use dd as above to copy each of
those files onto its own disk.
Good luck,
Andrew.

Subject: RH6.0, SCSI tape & rescue
Date: Sat, 01 Jul 2000 07:39:16 -0600
I'm not sure this is the proper group for this question but here goes... I
running RH6.0 and recently acquired a SCSI card and DAT drive. I built a
new kernel (2.2.16) to get support for the drive. After a few tries,
everything works when I boot from hard drive:
[root@localhost rj]# mt -f /dev/st0 status
SCSI 2 tape drive:
File number=-1, block number=-1, partition=0.
Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x0 (default).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (50000):
DR_OPEN IM_REP_EN
[root@localhost rj]#
<insert tape>
[root@localhost rj]# mt -f /dev/st0 status
SCSI 2 tape drive:
File number=0, block number=0, partition=0.
Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x13 (DDS (61000 bpi)).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (41010000):
BOT ONLINE IM_REP_EN
[root@localhost rj]#
Since I thought it might be nice to be able to restore from tape after
booting from floppy in rescue mode, I created a new boot floppy. The
problem is, when I boot from floppy, insert the rescue disk and enter the
command above at the # prompt, I'm greeted with a msg that /dev/st0 does
not exist. Sure enough, it doesn't.
Is there any way around this or am I attempting the impossible?

It's easy if it works.
Otherwise it is difficult.
In my view (and experience)
it is easier in case of difficulties
to get PPP working with the basic pppd
rather than with kppp.
Once it is working, kppp is nice.
