Hi, > what does it means to have a configured and built kernel? 1. To have the kernel sources installed. 2. To have MODULE load/unload support in the kernel (usually enabld by default). 3. To have the kernel installed and running on the system.
I have placed the kernel sources in /usr/src/linux-2.6.16.18 directory. i tried to compile the kernel using these commands : # make xconfig # make bzImage # make modules # make modules_install # cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16.18 # mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.16.18.img 2.6.16.18 # make install But when i boot into the OS with the new kernel, it gives an error at the boot time "Kernel Panic, attempted to kill init.........." ,and the OS doesn't boot! please tell me where i am wrong! thanks. -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
