I'm a newbie on kernel compiling, and would like to recompile the kernel on my machine to remove undesired drives. So, I got kernel-source-2.2.19pre17.deb, kernel-package.deb and gcc272_2.7.2.3-15 and followed the instructions:
0 - $ make xconfig 1 - in xconfig, loaded /boot/config-2.2.19pre17; saved and exited 2 - $ make-kpkg clean 3 - changed the Makefile, to make EXTRAVERSION = foo17 (to avoid module problems) 4 - $ fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=foo.1.0 kernel_image 5 - (as root) # dpkg -i kernel-image-2.2.19foo17_foo.1.0_i386.deb Everything worked just fine until now. But the old kernel image (vmlinuz-2.2.19pre17) is 1.001.473 bytes long, and the new one (vmlinuz-2.2.19foo17) is 1.033.565 bytes long. But the worst thing is that the new kernle doesn't boot. What am I doing wrong?? Thanks for your attention Gaz
