[6] Reboot and pray. Upon rebooting, you'll get the normal choice of

old kernel). Type "myhairisonfire" (or whatever name you chose) at the
prompt and you will boot the new kernel. If things go bad, you can return
to the old kernel by rebooting.

Well, hopefully I haven't made any mistakes. Report back with any question
or problems! The nice thing about building a kernel for the first time is
that it is a win-win situation. Either everything will work just fine, or
you'll get to learn a lot about how linux works!

Ignore my previous message. Everything compiled properly and the subsequent
steps went without any problem. Only when I try to boot my newly-compiled
kernel, I get the following mesage
Please wait, loading kernel...
/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:6,/boot/vmlinux-2.6.17.7: No such file or
directory
(The original kernel boots normally.)
Any ideas?
Again, many thanks for your detailed howto.
Whew! You had me worried when you said the original kernel didn't boot.
It seems the bootloader is looking for /boot/vmlinux-2.6.17.7 and not
finding it. Have you checked to see if it is there? Make sure you
remembered to copy the newly built vmlinux to the /boot directory. And
also check that the name you gave it matches the one in /etc/yaboot.conf.
It could be a simple typo like vmlinux_2.6.17.7 verus vmlinux-2.6.17.7.
If that all checks out, we can try to go from there.
