hi
my first custom kernel was yet another 2.2.20 and was perfect.
i have now made three 2.4.18 kernels and none of them will "work" meaning
that none of them gets gdm to start, or has any virtual terminals to log
into (ctrl/alt/f1), cannot connect via ssh and cannot return a ping.
almost none of the startup (dmesg, messages, etc) gets logged... just a
few lines:
Apr 19 12:03:02 bilbo -- MARK --
Apr 19 12:22:43 bilbo kernel: Kernel logging (proc) stopped.
Apr 19 12:22:43 bilbo exiting on signal 15
Apr 19 12:27:57 bilbo syslogd 1.4.1#10: restart.
there was an unsuccessful boot of 2.4.18 right after 12:22:43
something is preventing the kernel logger from starting at the end of the
startup. btw, the screen looks normal during the startup process, but it
goes so fast... obviously, the network isn't getting started.
i tried to model my .config file after the successful 2.2.20 one.
any sugestions? i think i will download the 2.4.18 kernel-image package
from testing and see if that will start.
thanks
dave
