I am rebuilding my kernel on a RH 6.0 2.2.5-15 system. I have 3 devices that
needed adding after doing the folloing:
backing up my old kernel
make mkproper
make config >> here I set all my options the way they should be set<<<
make bzImage
make dep
make clean
make modules
make modules_install
I then copy my bzImage the boot directory and call it vmlinuz. I boot lilo
with the image name vmlinuz and the old image vmlinuz-2.2.5-15.orig or label
vmlinuz.orig. I then of course run lilo to set the new map. For some reason
my
system is hanging on the finding module dependancies as it boots and will
not continue with the boot process. So essentially I have to hit reset or
power down and hit tab to boot back to my old kernel. Has any one seen this
type of kernel failure before. I have gone throught this 4 times now.
Reading it step by step. I can not find anything I missed. Every time it
hangs on finding module dependancies and never actually mounts the file
system.
I have done this in the past but was upgrading a kernel version but I have
never had kernel boot problems of this sort. This is a p-333 II 256meg ram.
I don't think the machine type matters, I just think I missing something
that I can not find in the /usr/src/linux/README file and also the
Kernel-Howto file.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance
Eddie Strohmier
