Kernel 2.5
Hi all I've configured and built the kernel, using gcc-2.95, make bzImage and modules, installed modules under /lib/modules/2.5.68. Everything goes fine except for a bunch of depmod errors during the 'make modules_install' which I'm guessing is because the new modules don't match the running kernel. I've updated grub to point to the kernel. When booting, grub seems to find it, uncompress it, then it says 'OK, booting the kernel' and nothing more. It just hangs. I don't see the line announcing the kernel version or compiler etc. Any tips or pointers? I've tried to be quite conservative with the config... no preempt, no smp, and the basic stuff as builtin rather than modules. Any ideas? -- 'Try to relax and ENJOY the crisis.' - Ashleigh Brilliant
Re: Kernel 2.5 boot failure [SOLVED]
She boots! Thanks to Bart Trojanowski for much help. I'm posting this to the list in case someone else runs into the same problem trying to build kernel 2.5 on Debian unstable. The symptom was an apparently frozen screen after the message 'Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel.' First, I needed to install module-init-tools. These are needed for the new-style kernel modules in 2.5. Then Bart suggested that it might be a problem with the console config in the kernel I was building: Bart Trojanowski wrote: You need to enable virtual terminal support CONFIG_VT=y CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE=y It may also be PTYs... CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS=y CONFIG_UNIX98_PTY_COUNT=256 This nearly solved the problem. I just needed to jiggle to config a bit more. I think the extra magic incantation was another config option: CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y Hope this helps someone else. Thanks Bart, Mark -- 'Try to relax and ENJOY the crisis.' - Ashleigh Brilliant
