I have just purchased the Mandrake 6.5 with Linux Ver 2.2.13-4mdk ..
everything seems to work okay except when I try to boot with a newly
compiled kernel.
I did a configuration (make config)
then
make dep clean zlilo modules modules_install
then
copied the new compresed kernel, System.map to the /boot directory
after renaming the original.. as an extra precaution I made a floppy from
the new image (dd if=/boot/vmlinuz of=/dev/fd0)
edited lilo to add the new kernel (ie)
an extra image=/boot/vmlinuz (etc)
keeping the original inplace..now have 2 - linux and linux2
here's the problem
no matter how I try to boot from the new image i can't
after loading and uncompressing the kernel image i get a constant string of
KMOD: Failed to load /sbin/modprobe -s -k binfmt-646c, errno 8
or something to that effect.. (it screams by in a continual steam too fast
to read)
any suggestions?
thanks tom
