Hi debian-users, I'm running Woody with the latest online updates. I've just compiled the 2.4.18 kernel using the Debian standard method from 7.1.1 of the Debian Reference.
I've configured in scsi cdrom/burner support, and usb support. The make line was: make-kpkg --append_to_version --initrd \ revision=rev.01 kernel-image (I dropped the recommended -486 option because I selected support for AMD Athlon/Duron in configuration step ). The kernel built ok and I installed it using dpkg. When I boot the new kernel this is the result: ttyS01 etc ............. usb.c: registered new driver iforce Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at vitrtual address 00000000 print eip: c011473c *pde=00000000 Ooops: 0002 EIP: 0010:[<c011473c>] not tainted EFLAGS: 00010082 eax: c037dc2c ebx: 00000000 ecx: 00000202 edx: c140dfa4 esi: c140df9c edi: c140c000 ebp:0008e000 esp: c140df84 ds: 0018 es:0018 ss:0018 Procees swapper (pid: 1, stackpage=c140d000) Stack: c037dc20 c140df9c c0105c51 c02f6f20 c030bfc0 00000000 00000001 c140c000 c037dc2c 00000000 c0105dc4 c037dc20 c0303c00 c02f6f2c c0222a8b c02f6f20 c030bfc0 c021fbd6 c034bd70 c03182fa c02f6f20 c030c97a 00010f00 c030c9bf Call Trace: [<c0105c51>] [<c0105dc4>] [<c0222a8b>] [<c021fbd6>] [<c0105267>] [<c0105708>] This has been copied by hand. Apart from the experience of building a kernel I need proper support for usb because I have a HP usb printer and I also have a true scsi cd burner which is invisble to the 2.2.x kernel I installed off the CDs. I have saved the .config I used if needed. Any clues Thanks bob parker -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
