Hi,
I am afraid I have to disagree. From kernel 2.2.4 to 2.2.5 is just a patch
level change. As I understand it, this means that there are no major new
features to be expected in 2.2.5 as compared with 2.2.4. I also run SuSE 6.0
and had no problems with booting kernel 2.2.5, so the problem is not with the
slightly outdated packages you mentioned. On the contrary, I switched to SuSE
6.0 since I consider it one of the most up to date distributions around. Since
you apparently succeeded in building and installing the 2.2.4 kernel before, I
can only conclude that you did _not_ correctly compile and install the 2.2.5
kernel. Did you perform all steps in the 'make dep && make clean && make
(b)zImage && make modules && make modules_install' sequence? If you did a 'make
(b)zlilo' instead of 'make (b)zImage', make sure the install path in
/usr/src/linux/Makefile corresponds to that in your /etc/lilo.conf. By the way,
I consider it common sense to keep your previous, bootable kernel around. This
prevents you from having to depend on luck ;-)
Still, better luck next time,
Tim.
BTW: If you keep having problems with booting, can you be more specific
concerning the error messages, if any?
