I have kernel 2.2.16 installed on my machine and trying to upgrade to 2.4.2. Verified from 2.4.2 Documentation that I have different utilities (gcc, binutils, pppd etc) of the specified or the greater version. I am able to make bzImage for 2.4.2, but when I try to boot with 2.4.2 option in lilo, the message is : Uncompressing the kernel.... Ok. Booting the kernel and the machine hangs ! The configuration is mostly default (except for SCSI not needed, so made off, soundcard off, USB off). On getting few hints from mailing list discussions, I did make sure that processor type is set correctly (and not default pentium-2/3) in .config file and also tried changing '-oformat' option to '--oformat' in Makefile. But still the machine fails to boot with 2.4.2 I am new to kernel area. Requesting all of you hints for diagnosing / correcting the problem. thanx & regards, Narendra Joshi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
