Dear Friends, now I'm at a dead end! I cannot get rid of the above message of kernel panic. Even if I compile the kernel with the original /boot/config-2.4.5-686 -coming with the debian package of the kernel image- the error is the same. So, help me please understand which of the two following hypotheses is true: Hyp. A (utterly probable): I'm doing something wrong with the compilation of kernel 2.4.5. I follow the same procedure I'd been following for the 2.2.19 kernel, that is, after executing #make menuconfig and loading the /boot/config-2.4.5-686 config file, I issue #make-kpkg clean #no problems! #make-kpkg --revision=vic kernel_image #no problems Then, under /usr/src/, I issue #dpkg --install kernel-image-2.4.5_vic_i386.deb (Sometimes, not always, dpkg complains about missing dependencies) Reconfiguring lilo and rebooting the above panic message pops up. Hyp. B (Utterly incredible to me): There's something wrong in the original config-2.4.5-686 file PLEASE HELP Vittorio
