[opensuse] Compiling Kernel - What is ata_piix?

2007-04-17 Thread david rankin

Mates,

   Trying to solve the problem of why I have no keyboard or mouse after 
compile of 2.6.20 on opensuse 10.0. Error during boot is ...FATAL ata_piix 
failed. What is ata_piix and why didn't it get into the kernel? Any help 
appreciated.

 After receiving your reply, I went back and changed the kernel name in
 make menuconfig, as you mentioned.  Then I did:

 make clean
 make oldconfig
 make dep

 Then I did:

 make ; make modules_install

 Finally, I copied the kernel into /boot/bzImage.new and updated grub to
 point to this new kernel.

 What am I missing?

You might do make install instead.

There is one gotcha: when you did the modules_install phase, without
changing the name, it means that your new modules overwrote the old
modules:

/lib/modules/2.6.18.8-0.1-default   -- original suse modules

/lib/modules/2.6.18.8-0.1-cer   -- my modules

If you don't change the name at compile times, the default tree is
overwritten. You probably have by now a mixed up tree.

It might be that your problem, I'm not sure.

Did you remember to change the kernel name in make menuconfig? If you 
don't, modules get placed and load incorrectly.

Hey,
 
 So what is the prescribed method of upgrading the kernel under SLES9?
Install the Service Packs for SLES9.
BTW, what kernel version did you compile?
Did you install also kernel-source?

Regards,

[opensuse] Compiling kernel.

2007-03-19 Thread Mike Diehl
Hi all.

I'm a new SLES9 user but I've been using Linux for some time.

I'm trying to upgrade the kernel on a SLES9 server and am having problems.

I've compiled the kernel and copied it to /boot/bzImage.  I've created an 
entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst.

The problem is that no matter what I do, it seems to load the same (factory) 
version of the kernal.

So what is the prescribed method of upgrading the kernel under SLES9?

TIA,

Where did you place the new kernel image?

Post an ls -al of /boot

Post an ls -al of /boot/grub

Post a cat of  /boot/grub/menu.lst

Check your default line in menu.lst.
