I recompiled again using a different procedure and it looks like I am jammin' now
:)
I did
make mrproper
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
I then copied the kernel
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-3
and
cp /usr/src/linux/System.map /boot/System.map-2.2.16-3
I checked the symlinks in /boot that were set up by the previous installs
[root@compaq2 /boot]# ls -l |grep ^l
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Oct 7 08:16 System.map ->
System.map-2.2.16-3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Oct 6 18:01 kernel.h -> kernel.h-2.2.16
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Oct 7 08:16 vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.2.16-3
reran lilo:
lilo -v
here is lilo.conf:
boot=/dev/ida/c0d0p1
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-22smp
label=linux-686
root=/dev/ida/c0d0p6
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.5-22smp.img
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/ida/c0d0p6
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15
label=linux-up
root=/dev/ida/c0d0p6
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.5-15.img
read-only
viola reboot worked fine
I have a couple of quetions.
Any ideas why the first procedure did not work?
i.e.
make dep
make clean
make install
make modules
make modules_install
This is what hung at the Finding Module Dependencies prompt which looks like it is
basically a depmod -a run in rc.sysinit
What does the map=/boot/map line do?
Where did /boot/map mcome from ? it is timestamped about 20 minutes later than
the orig /usr/src/linux/System.map. Are these related?
Where can I read up on map and System.map and be able to understand it too :)
I appreciate everyone's help. I don't normally compile my own kernels but if I
can get the procedure down pat I might not be afraid of it in the future.
