Im trying to upgrade the kernel on my Toshiba from 2.2.20-idepci to 2.6.5 (source) or 2.6.4 (debian source, downloaded with apt). Everything compile well, but when rebooting and selecting the new kernel image the screen becomes black... i dont get even a "kernel panic" message. And if i boot using the old kernel image, works fine.
I have done this all the time with my PCs, dont know why the black screen with the laptop. If someone have a clue... thanks in advance. Cheers, Augusto. Obs: the kernel runs my lilo, and install things on /boot... im using the image it puts on /boot to boot.
