My first post to this list! I'm running Mandrake 8.1 with rieserfs on a 256MB AMD K6 clocking 350 MHz (older machine) and all is well. I just purchased a Sharp Zaurus SL5500 and much to my disappointment it does not talk to my Linux box. I have spent all day trying to upgrade to the 2.4.18 kernel so I can use the usbdnet patch to make things right with my Zaurus. No joy however. I followed the README that came with the 2.4.18 source download.
After make xconfig make dep make clean make bzImage make modules make modules_install cp ~/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot editing lilo.config to point to new bzImage with lable "2.4.18" (keeping old kernel available) lilo reboot then selecting my new kernel from lilo menu system flashes: Loading 2.4.18 ............................................. Then it reboots ... and I grit my teeth and wonder why. What am I doing wrong .. any common newbie (like me) issues and Gotch-ya's? Thanks Danny Luker
