Is there a way to build a kernel that's exactly like the one you have now? I know that sounds like a stupid thing to want to do but it appears to be the only way out of my difficulties.
I have just upgraded from RH7.0 to RH7.2 but I have screwed up my bootloaders in the upgrade (never mind how, it's in messages I've sent over the past week) so that neither LILO nor GRUB work. However, using the boot floppy I made from the RedHat installer, I am able to boot to Linux and all seems well. But the boot from the hard drive hangs. Looking through my /boot directory, I notice that boot.b has a date from the date when I installed 7.0 last year. This is consistent with the way I screwed up the installation and seems like a likely culprit for my problems. So I want to make a correct boot.b. The only way I can think of to do that is to rebuild the kernel. Since the kernel itself is fine, I'd like to build it with exactly the settings I have now, which are all redhat defaults. I tried building a kernel accepting all defaults and got a "kernel too big message". But rather than go through all the questions and parameters, is there a way to recapture your current configuration? Or is there another way to make boot.b? (Is there a way to pull it from the boot tracks on my boot floppy, for example)? _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
