Hi,
 I am trying to build the 2.4.17 Kernel and upgrade my existing 2.4.7-10 Red
Hat Linux System. Here is the procedure I followed ( based on Red Hat
Documentation on the same ):

1. tar -xvzf linux-2.4.17.tar.gz
2. cd linux
3. make mkproper
4. make menuconfig
5.make dep 
6. make clean 
7. make bzImage 
8. make modules 
9. make modules_install 
10. cp /usr/src/linux-2.4.17/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17 
11. cp /usr/src/linux-2.4.17/System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.17 
12. cd /boot rm System.map ln -s System.map-2.4.17 System.map 
13. mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.17.img 2.4.17 
14. Modify the /etc/lilo.conf to add
		image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17
		label=linux-Mine
		root=/dev/hda1
		initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.17
		read-only

 Now when i reboot and select the linux-Mine option the screen displays
		Loading vmlinuz-2.4.7
		Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel

 and then HANGS!!!!!!

 What might be the problem. I have followed the instruction to the T. I
tried without the initrd option too. I have enabled the RAM diak
option/disabled it....
 
 Please help me out on the issue.

Thanks and Regards,
Abdij
