Here's my issue-- So I had to re-install my system today (long story). I run a custom kernel in order to get NVIDIA drivers to work (the gcc version mismatches always have stumped me w/regard to getting the drivers working with stock kernels).
To make a custom kernel, I did the following (all running sid/unstable: 1.)got the kernel configuration file for the package kernel-image-2.4.22-686-smp from /boot. 2.)Installed the kernel source for same kernel (2.4.22) and used the config file from the stock .deb as the .config in the kernel source tree 3.) after a "make menuconfig oldconfig", where I simply exited and saved, I ran: make dep; make-kpkg clean; make-kpkg --append-to-version=.311003 --revision=1 --initrd kernel-image modules-image 4.) installed the resulting deb w/dpkg, ran lilo, and rebooted After rebooting, the system always hangs w/the custom kernel at the line "INIT: version 2.8...". This is not because it can't find the hard drive (that was the problem before doing --initrd with make-kpkg). Further, the stock kernel runs fine (only problem is installing the nvidia drivers, which result in non-loading modules with the stock kernel and gcc-3.2.2), and was compiled with gcc 3.2.2. I used the config file from the stock kernel deb and am using gcc 3.2.2 (the current version in sid, the machine was installed earlier today, the 31st of Oct.) Any input would be appreciated. Also, if someone can point out how to get the NVIDIA stuff working with the stock kernel, that would be another good solution.
