I have trouble booting a kernel I have compiled myself. I have changed from FedoraCore 2 to CentOS 4.4 and is trying to compile my own kernel. In FC2 I were able to compile and boot a custom kernel and this system boots fine with the kernel supplied by CentOS. I want to compile my own to get support for second head on Matrox G400DH (for tv out) and Hauppauge PVR150 (tv in). I downloaded kernel 2.6.19.1 from kernel.org and compiled it like make mrproper, make menuconfig, make, make modules_install, make install. I also tried doing make oldconfig using config from kernel supplied with centos, also make default config and a kernel without modules support. I even reinstalled CentOS 4.4 tried compiling the kernel first thing, to make sure I did not mess up anything with alternative packages before.
All results in the same problem: the booting stops about when grub is finished and the kernel should continue. I get the message about loading initrd but not the line of "Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel". Instead I get a blank screen with a flashing cursor at top left. Thats all, nothing more happens. Any suggestions on what could be wrong or what I should do? Hardware: Asus P3B-F (motherboard), Celeron 1.1GHz, Matrox G400DH and so on.
