Hi all I just compiled the 2.4.2 kernel, upgrade from 2.2.17. Copied it to a floppy and it booted fine. Added a new entry to grub to point to the new kernel bzImage Renamed the old kernel vmlinuz.orig Copied bzImage to /boot I can now boot to the orig linux but when I try to boot the bzImage I just get a blank screen. Now what did I do? I don't think I can rename bzImage to vmlinuz because that's just a symlink to vmlinuz-2.2.17-21mdk. Do I maybe nee a symlink to bzImage? Or am i missing something really basic? Thanks Here's my grub timeout 5 color black/cyan yellow/cyan i18n (hd0,2)/boot/grub/messages keytable (hd0,2)/boot/us.klt altconfigfile (hd0,2)/boot/grub/menu.once default 0 title origlinux kernel (hd0,2)/boot/vmlinuz.orig root=/dev/hda3 vga=788 title linux kernel (hd0,2)/boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda3 vga=788 title linux-nonfb kernel (hd0,2)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3 title failsafe kernel (hd0,2)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3 failsafe title windows root (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 title floppy root (fd0) chainloader +1
