In the continuing saga of my kernel recompile, I did this: make xconfig make-kpkg clean make-kpkg kernel_image dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.18_10.00.Custom_i386.deb
Everything seemed to go well. There were no error messages, and I found myself with a newly compiled kernel named vmlinuz-2.4.18 in my /boot directory. But on attempting to boot, the kernel would instantly crash and reboot again, and again, etc, ad nauseum. I could only recover by editing GRUB to point back to the old kernel. Can't see what I did wrong, other than possibly that my settings somehow conflicted. I actually changed very little - I used the stock kernel, and just added support for sound, parport, scsi, and my ethernet card. Has anyone else had this experience? Can I just use my old kernel and somehow get these other things to work by loading modules? thanks in advance, regards, Robert Storey -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
