We need a little more info. Did you install the kernel and modules? Did you create an initrd.img, if necessary? "make install_modules" and "make install" in the kernel source directory should do all the above for you. Briefly, the steps I outlined in an earlier mail: # rpm -Fvh kernel-source-2.4.18-17.8.0.i386.rpm # cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-17.8.0/ (Substitute which ever version you are using, of course.) # Edit the Makefile and make sure EXTRAVERSION is set to a unique name. # make mrproper # cp configs/kernel-2.4.18-athlon.config .config (Use the config file for your processor, i386, i686, athlon, etc) # make config, changing the options you want. # make dep # make bzImage && make modules && echo "Finished!" # make modules_install # make install The above should install the kernel and modules, create an initrd.img, and set up the boot loader. - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9yQign/07WoAb/SsRAtmhAJ9MsGzw3+vSunG8W8PRpNNd6u8ktQCZAQYu YUL/M3LsHVDyn8dF8Pn2dLs= =F1cy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
