I'm running 2.4.0 on RH 6.2.

I had previously downloaded 2.4.1 sources but had not compiled them. So when
2.4.2 came out, I grabbed the patch and applied it. 

Then I tried to install the new kernel with the normal way:

make menuconfig
make dep; make clean; make bzImage
make modules; make modules_install
cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.2
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2
pico -w /etc/lilo.conf
lilo -v


But when I rebooted the machine I got through LILO and uncompressing kernel to
Loading kernel (or was it Linux) and there it got stuck. I could see my HD
light blinking but nothing happens on the screen.

When I hit CTRL-ALT-DEL it reboots the machine normally. I checked
/var/log/messages and saw these messages:

--snip--
Mar 20 19:09:30 cayman modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-4
Mar 20 19:09:30 cayman /sbin/mingetty[937]: /dev/tty3: cannot open tty: No 
such device
--snip--


Am I missing something from kernel config or what is going on?


Cheers,
Peter
