Re: new kernel will not boot
My guess is perhaps that you're lacking support for something critical. If you've got SCSI hardware, did you build the initrd correctly, or compile the neccesary support into the kernel? If / is on an IDE drive, did you compile IDE support into the kernel? Did you compile support for whatever filesystem / uses (ext2/3, Reiser, XFS)? --- Keith Antoine [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a 2.4.18 compiled kernel that has a kernel panic and stops dead.

Thanks for the reply Lonni, I have IDE drives and the cd's are compiled in as scsi hd's as ide, initrd was called from /boot /usr/libexec/modules/mkinitrd.sh 2.4.18 am using ext3.. From the kernel config file:: CONFIG_IDE=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=m CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE=y CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y I am sure the foirst time that i compiled this kernel and it would not run was with the config from 2.4.17, which does run fine!! -- Keith Antoine (GANDALF) aka 'skippy' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061 Australia PH:61733002161 Retired Geriatric, Sometime Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
