Hi all, I successfully compiled the 2.4.5 kernel and rebooted. Then I went into xconfig, changed 1 option and went thru the same process. Now I get -> Loading 245 Uncompressing linux... Ran out of input data -- System halted. It does this for all of my kernels (2.4.3). (I have my 2.4.5 kernel in a seperate location). Fortunately, I have a boot disk so I'm not toast. Can anyone steer me back to the path? TIA, Bill.
