||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?
I am guessing from the "I could only recover by editing GRUB" that you did not rename /lib/modules/version number so that a new modules/version number could be built by the new kernel. Repeat the process doing this first. Best Wishes! Mike Olds www.buddhadust.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
