I tried building the 2.4.25 kernel, but I have one problem. I did make dep and make clean etc. separately because make all wasn't working. But, I can't find the bzImage. I did 'make bzImage' twice, but It's not there. Any idea where it might be?
Marc
I don't know why you are trying to build a 2.4 kernel, unless there is a specific reason for it, but you have to type: make dep clean && make modules bzImage
then as root: make modules_install
I highly suggest you try the 2.6 kernel first. As for your black screen problem, change the line that says vga=788 to vga=normal.
Here is my entry for my 2.6 kernel (with vga=normal): image=/boot/bzImage-2.6.1 label="linux2.6.1" root=/dev/hdc5 initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.1.img append="devfs=nomount splash=silent noapic acpi=off hdb=ide-cdrom hdd=ide-cdrom" read-only vga=normal
If that still doesn't work, I guess you could try following my instructions from the beginning, skipping the parts about bootsplash. But try vga=normal with your 2.6 kernel first.
John
Just wondering...What does the 'devfs=nomount' mean, because all of my other lilo entries say 'devfs=mount'. Also, I was just trying the 2.4 kernel to see if it might work. In other words, I was in a hotel room in Delaware and I was bored. =)

Okay let's condense this into one thread now
Here's my lilo.conf:
boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map vga=normal default="linux" keytable=/boot/us.klt prompt nowarn timeout=100 message=/boot/message menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux" root=/dev/hda5 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="devfs=mount splash=silent hdc=ide-scsi resume=/dev/hda6 splash=silent" vga=788 read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux-nonfb" root=/dev/hda5 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="devfs=mount splash=silent hdc=ide-scsi resume=/dev/hda6" read-only other=/dev/hda1 label="windows" table=/dev/hda image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-10mdk label="old_linux-nonfb" root=/dev/hda5 initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.22-10mdk.img append="devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi resume=/dev/hda6" read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label="failsafe" root=/dev/hda5 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="failsafe devfs=nomount splash=silent hdc=ide-scsi resume=/dev/hda6" read-only image=/boot/bzImage-2.6.3 label="Linux-2.6.3" root=/dev/hda5 initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.3.img append="devfs=nomount hdb=ide-cdrom hdd=ide-cdrom" vga=normal read-only
And my fstab:
/dev/hda5 / ext3 noatime 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 /dev/hda7 /home ext3 noatime 1 2 none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdc,fs=udf:iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,ro 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0
And I just noticed, something odd is happening with my cdrom drive. I just tried to install a package, with CD 2, and it didn't eject my cdrom drive like it usually does, then it didn't detect the cd. It also said insert the disk into /dev/hdc... But the device is /dev/scd0. This probably has something to do with the cdrom device config during boot that I mentioned in the other thread.
--Marc
What kernel are you running? If its the 2.6 kernel, then change the cdrom line in your fstab file to: /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0
The only problem with this is that supermount no longer works. To get supermount to work, you'd have to patch the kernel with the supermount patch and then recompile. The above line will not mount your cdrom, and you have to do it manually with this command: 'mount /dev/hdc'.
Did the vga=normal thing fix your boot problem?
John
If you mean what kernel am I trying to run, then yes it's 2.6. Would there be any way to have it mount automatically on boot? You know, make a script and have it execute when I start up.
The vga=normal fixed the blank screen, but read my other reply to see the new problem.
Also, any thoughts about what happened with my cdrom drive and device scd0?
Ya, to have your cd mount on boot (you would have to unmount it if you want to switch cd's then remount), just remove "noauto" from the cdrom line of you fstab.
When the 2.6 kernel gets up and running, the cdrom drive and device scd0 will go away. It's complaining because your cdrom is currently scd0, but fstab says its hdc. With the 2.6 kernel, the device will be hdc and rpmdrake will work fine.
John
Wait...I'd need to unmount and mount again to switch cds? That's a bit annoying. Anyway since the kernel panic error isn't solved, and I can't use supermount, here's what I think I should do.
I'll start clean. I've done so much stuff to the source, no wonder it's not working. I'll clean out the directory, and save my config file. I'll untar it again, apply the supermount patch, apply the mm patch, copy over my .config, do make oldconfig, do make all, do make modules_install, copy over the bzImage, and make the initrd. My lilo entry will already be there.
Tell me if you think this is a good idea. It'll solve the unmounting and mounting of hdc...right?
This might be a good idea. Just make sure to change the cdrom fstab line to this:
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom supermount defaults,ro,user,noexec 0 0
Other than that it sounds good. Tell me how the supermount things goes as I haven't tried it yet.
