OK. I reconfigured the SCSI support. Didn't do anything earth-shattering,
just removed some things that shuldn't have been there (turned off SYM53C8XX
SCSI support, turned off verbose SCSI error reporting) and the compile seems
to have worked. I did get a bzImage file in linux-2.4.9/arch/i386/boot. I
then execute make modules and make modules_install, which seemed to work ok
(no errors). I then copied the bzImage file to /boot/vmlinuz-athlon and made
an entry in my /boot/grub/menu.lst file.
title = Caldera 2D2.4 with 2.4.9 kernel
root = (hd1,1)
kernel = /boot/vmlinuz-athlon vga=normal debug=2 root=/dev/hdb2 hdd=ide-scsi
When I try to boot with it, I get this error:
invalid compressed format (err=1)
System Halted
Obviously, it didn't work. What did I do wrong? There's a script in the same
directory where the bzImage was placed called install.sh. Am I supposed to
run that? I hope not, it looks like it'll run lilo, which would certainly
cause problems with grub.
Please CC to [EMAIL PROTECTED], I'm only getting about have of the posts on
the list thru the twunder@iwmail address. I don't know if the problem is with
@home's mail servers or my mail forwarder, but there's a problem somewhere.
Thanks,
Tim
