I am using the 2.6.3 kernel which I compiled myself and it works well. Today I compiled the 2.6.6 kernel (I tried it both from the debian sources and the sources from ftp.kernel.org), installed the debian package created by make-kpkg.
However not one of the versions of 2.6.6 would load at boot time. Lilo stops after announcing "Loading Debian-2.6.6" or something similar and it justs hangs there. The /usr/src/<version>/.config file is very similar. The only differences are the result of different options or new options in 2.6.6. In /etc/lilo.conf I have: lba32 boot=/dev/hda root=/dev/hda1 bitmap=/usr/share/lilo/contrib/debian.bmp bmp-colors=1,,0,2,,0 bmp-table=120p,173p,1,15,17 bmp-timer=254p,432p,1,0,0 install=bmp prompt timeout=50 map=/boot/map vga=normal image=/vmlinuz label="DEB 2.6.6" read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.3 label="DEB 2.6.3" read-only and $ ls -la /vmlinuz /vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-2.6.6 Any idea what is going on here?
