I've tried to compile 2.6.34 vanilla, but I can't get it to boot, it hangs on "waiting for root filesystem". Here are my steps:
$ tar xjf linux-2.6.34.tar.bz2 && cd linux* $ cp /boot/config-`uname -r` .config $ make oldconfig [return, return, return, ... ] $ make menuconfig General Setup / Local version = -m4400 Processor Type And Features / Processor family = Core 2 / newer Xeon Processor Type And Features / Timer frequency = 300 HZ Device Drivers / Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers *Yes / Everything *Yes except for ISA PnP PATA and PCMCIA PATA, but those shouldn't be needed to boot a internal sata disk, right? Filesystems / Ext2 *Yes Filesystems / Ext3 *Yes Filesystems / Ext4 *Yes (My root fs is ext4) Exit / save configuration $ fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd binary-arch $ cd .. && sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.34-m4400_2.6.34-m4400-10.00.Custom_i386.deb linux-headers*.deb What's wrong? What have I missed to let the new kernel boot on my system? -- switching to external VGA monitor does not work anymore on dell precision M4400 and Ubuntu 10.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585258 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
