Hello all, I upgraded my RH 7.0 machine's kernel from 2.2.16-22 to 2.2.17-14 using binary RPMs from RH. However, since doing that, I have not been able to run mkinitrd, it always complains "all loopback devices are in use". Following suggestions from this list, I tried modprobe loop but it says "Can't locate module loop". Unfortunately, I did an upgrade, not a install, with the binary RPMs. However, I was lucky enough to have made a boot floppy that I am now using to boot the machine. Having failed with the kernel upgrade, I am now trying to compile the sources for the 2.2.17-14 kernel. I installed the sources from the kernel source RPMs. However, whenever I try to run make menuconfig, it bombs with the following error "dialog.h:29:20: curses.h: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [lxdialog.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/scripts/lxdialog' make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2" I am pretty sure that my system is fully patched as far as non-kernel things go, since I use RH's up2date on a weekly basis. Could anyone offer any suggestions as to what might be wrong with: 1) mkinitrd bombing with the loopback device error. 2) What am I missing in getting make menuconfig to run? Thanks in advance for any help, --Moby _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
