Hello,
I am attempting to run the 2.1.112 kernel on my Linux box. My
distribution is Slackware 3.1 (highly upgraded ;).
I have upgraded everything that was recommended and more. Here is a
list of the things that I think are important to mention that I have
installed:
kbd-0.96
ld.so-1.9.9
lilo-20
linux-nfs-0.4.21
modutils-2.1.85
net-tools-1.45
ppp-2.3.5
procinfo-12
procps-1.2.8
sh-utils-1.16
sysvinit-2.74
util-linux-2.8b
My compiler is gcc version pgcc-2.90.29 980515 (egcs-1.0.3 release) with
libc-5.4.46.
I am able to compile and install the kernel fine, but when I reboot it
hangs right after it adds the swap in rc.S. At first I thought there
was a problem with update, so I upgraded it, but that didn't resolve my
problem. I also commented out the swapon in rc.S thinking it may have
been hanging there. The boot just continued into the fsck, but hung
just as it started into it.
At that point I though there may have been a problem with init in
general, so I upgraded it. It still hangs. Does anyone have any idea
what my problem is? Please don't tell me to upgrade to RedHat or
something. I have modified my Slackware greatly, and rarely even refer
to it as Slackware. This is the beauty of Linux. There should be no
reason to upgrade the distribution, if it is maintained properly. (I
would be still on Slackware 2.0 if it wasn't for ELF ;)
Please reply to my email address as well, because I am not on this
list. Thank you.
