Hi,
How are you? This question is been asked previously, but I haven't found
a solution yet. I have searched most of the mailing lists and have mailed to
the concerned persons who had posted this question before, but of no success.
I wanted to build the kernel-2.5. I dowloaded 2.5.64 and built it as I
did for 2.4. Everything went on fine. But when I reboot the system, it doesnt
do anything after it shows "Uncompressing Linux....OK". There is no disk
activity. I made sure the Input devices and video cards is been selected. I am
working on this for past 10 days but of no success.
I would like to explain my building process.
1) Downloaded the linux-2.5-66.tar.gz from www.kernel.org website.
2) Saved it in /usr/src directory and un-tarred it which created the
linux-2.5-66 directory.
3) Got into the linux-2.5-66 directory for further work
4) "make mrpoper" to remove remains of previous builds
5) "make xconfig", left the default settings as it is, save and exit
6) "make dep", I know it doesn't help because of no change in default
settings
7) "make clean"
8) "make bzImage"
9) "make modules_install"
10) "make install", which copied the System.map and vmlinuz-2.5 files to
/boot
directory and also did the corresponding entry in grub.conf file.
11) /sbin/reboot
Any advise on this will be greatly appreciated.Looking forward to your
help.Please let me know if you need any more information. Please cc your mail
to pemmaiah@cc.usu.edu.
Thank you
Anup
