I re-compiled my kernel (2.2.15) in an attempt to get my cd-writer working. It failed miserably for some reason.
My first problem is that after the recompile and setting up lilo, when I reboot my computer, every single module fails to load because of a huge number of unresolved symbol errors. There were so many that I couln't even see them all by pressing 'ctrl - page up'. Anybody know why it would do that. I did a debian ftp install and then downloaded the source so it's possible that i'm missing a key piece of the puzzle. After I went back to the original kernel, I'm having problems with vfat.o and fat.o. The vfat and fat modules load fine on insmod but seem to be causing the problem whenever I try to mount a file system. Strange thing is that all the regular filesystems '/', '/var', '/usr' and '/home' all come up fine. It's just three others (two vfat and one ext2) that I can't mount. It just hangs if I try to do it from a terminal window. Anybody heard of a problem like this and know how to solve it? I used make bzlilo which automatically copied the new kernel image and system.map file so I'm not sure if maybe it did something else to me. P.S. I did restart lilo after removing the botched kernel n order to try CxPx
