Subject: I compiled the kernel but it doesn't do any thing, its a bit like typing "halt".

Of course its probably something to do with init,
but does anyone know whats going wrong? whats system.map
actually for, Im using a vanilla 2.5.54 and MDK9.0.
:(
Of course im probably opening my self up to lines like
"thick twat wouldn't know a devel kernel if he was electrocuted from pissing on the pc that held one.."

Now i know why I preferred 2.4, I could get it working.
:)

Boot with init=/bin/sh and see what happens.

Decoding numerical addresses in to function names.

He's saying the 2.5 kernel won't come up
on his system -

Dean it'd be good to see your .config and
probably lspci and lsmod from the box when
it's running 2.4 - be sure and send those to
the list when asking such an open ended
question -

BTW have you compiled a 2.4 kernel, or
have you been running vendor kernels
until trying 2.5?
