pre 10
I have successfully compiled and used 2.4.0 on pentium 133 system. However because I wanted to try reiserfs I installed 2.4.1-pre10. ppp is now broken. I get the following error - Jan 23 21:24:55 a pppd[505]: Serial connection established. Jan 23 21:24:55 a pppd[505]: ioctl(PPPIOCGFLAGS): Invalid argument Jan 23 21:24:56 a pppd[505]: Hangup (SIGHUP) Jan 23 21:24:56 a pppd[505]: Exit. --- I hope it's not my fault? I did not have any problem with 2.4.0 kernel. --- Next I also have a dell box running celeron 566 with intel i810. I run 2.2.18 and managed to make my display adapter work with a couple of packages from intel site. I would like to run 2.4. First 2.4.0 compiles and boots on this machine fine. But I could not startx. I gave up at that point but I wanted reiserfs so I again tried with pre10. pre10 kernel won't even boot. It says that I must supply "root=" parameter That can't be right. First I compile and install on the same machine. Next my root is /dev/hda1. Next I did /usr/sbin/rdev bzImage /dev/hda1 That did not work. Next I install lilo with proper root parameter. That did not work. I hope someone can find and fix these problems.

klogd is acting strange with 2.4
celeron 433 intel i810. 320MB ram. Before 2.2.18. Now I've tested with both 2.4.1-pre12 and 2.4.1. 2.4 kernel klogd is always using 99% cpu. What gives? I've three other less powerful boxes running 2.4.x kernels and none of them behave like this. This server isn't taking any more hits than it usually does. What more information I should post here? I've two apache servers, pgsql and sendmail and some other processes running on this server.

did 2.4 messed up lilo?
I'm not sure whether this problem is related to 2.4 kernel. I've installed kernels 2.4.0-prex to 2.4.1 on the following machines. All are now running 2.4.1. Judging from my past experience posting here I'm giving much information - compaq prolinea p-90 de4x5 driver 1 gig quantum drive cmd 640 controller - dell optiplex p-133 hp-pcplus driver 8 gig seagate cmd 640 controller - ibm p-133 de4x5 driver maxtor 4 gig All partitions are reiserfs. except for dell box linux is the only system and root is on /dev/hda1. dell's root is on /dev/hda7 with /dev/hda1 occupied by the unmentionable. Soon after I've installed 2.4.xx lilo stopped working properly. Unfortunately I'm not sure whether it started with as soon as any 2.4 installed or on subsequent installation. What happens is the lilo does not give you any prompt any more. My /etc/lilo.conf, of course, have proper timeout parameter which were working before with 2.2.18. On compaq it does not even boot at all from hard drive. I'm using a floopy to boot and run that box. Others just boot right into the default specified in /etc/lilo.conf I would not be complaining if it weren't for the fact that lilo does not obey kernel parameters any more. On ibm box I need to append="hdc=ide-scsi" to use my cd-rw drive. The system boots with the right kernel but I cannot use cd-rw because it apparently is not looking at the kernel parameters. I also am no good at installing lilo on a floppy. I apologize in advance if this problem is not 2.4 related. FYI I've also installed 2.4 on celeron 566 without this problem. I'm just not running 2.4 on this one just because I cannot make the graphics card operate under 2.4 Thanks in advance - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
Re: did 2.4 messed up lilo?
I've now installed 21.6 downloaded from metlab and all seems to be ok now... well at least the dell box.. compaq boot sector may have been blown off for some reason..it won't boot at all athough this time it's a different way of being stuck like LI instead of LILO. I will try ibm box in the morning when the traffic is light. On Fri, Feb 02, 2001 at 05:58:21PM -0800, Miles Lane wrote: > Hmm.

Re: did 2.4 messed up lilo?
Just to let everyone knows that 21.6 also fix the problem on ibm box. I can now mount cdr drive. Thank you.
