Whenever I try and compile a kernel, my computer reboots after the message: Loading Linux....................... Here's what I do, tell me if it's wrong: -Download kernel into home dir -Unpack -Rename and make symbolic link "linux" -cd linux -make mrproper -make menuconfig -make dep && make clean && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install -cp bzImage to /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17 -cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.17 -cd /boot -create symbolic link to System.map -> System.map-2.4.17 -edit lilo.conf: =========================== prompt timeout=50 default=linux boot=/dev/hda map=boot/map install=/boot/boot.b message=/boot/message lba32 image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.7-10 label=linux initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.7-10.img read-only root=/dev/hda5 #Add this part for new kernel image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17 label=Linux-2.4.17 read-only root=/dev/hda5 =========================== -Run /sbin/lilo Lilo installs fine without any complaints and EVERYTIME I reboot and choose the new kernel the computer reboots after the "Loading Linux..................." message. It never gets to the "Uncompressing" part of the boot message. It's obviously got to be something i'm doing wrong. If redhat and slackware can get their kernels to load, then there's no reason I shouldn't be able to do my own. Here's my setup: Pentium 233 Intel Chipset 192 megs RAM Maxtor 10g ATA/66 Some help would be much, much appreciated. I've followed all the examples and tried this dozens of times with no success to date. I've downloaded 2.4.16 and it did the same thing. I've tried putting the source and unpacking it in the /usr/src directory. I've tried using initrd and modifying lilo to reflect it. The kernel ALWAYS compiles without any error codes at the end and none of this seems to matter because in the end it just reboots and reboots, etc... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
