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?
Regards
Johann
