HI
I am running linux machine on 2.4.20-8(The red hat kernel which comes in
shipping). It is working great. And all things are being configured.
Now i need to run 2.4.20 vanilla kernel for some project.First of all can i
do that.
I am using the documentation on How to compile a new kernel. i am making new
link
using ln -s linux-2.4.20 linux-2.4 in /usr/src directory.
ran make xconfig and loaded the configuration file from
/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/.config
Saved it .
ran make dep
ran make
ran make modules
ran make modules_install
ran make bzImage
ran make install
Only error i get is that the image is too large to boot from the floppy
disk. When i look into my /boot directory it has made the initrd-2.4.20.img
and also System.map-2.4.20 also vmlinuz link to vminuz-2.4.20. But does not
make "module-info-2.4.20"
Here are the contents of the boot directory expect the above i told you,
which i deleted before POSTING this message as i am going to try it agian.
So do not be confused
boot.b config-2.4.20-8smp kernel.h module-info System.map vmlinux-2.4.20-8
chain.b grub lost+found module-info-2.4.20-8 System.map-2.4.20
vmlinux-2.4.20-8smp
config-2.4.20 initrd-2.4.20-8.img message module-info-2.4.20-8smp
System.map-2.4.20-8 vmlinuz-2.4.20-8
config-2.4.20-8 initrd-2.4.20-8smp.img message.ja os2_d.b
System.map-2.4.20-8smp vmlinuz-2.4.20-8smp
It also made the entry into the "boot/grub/menu.lst file"
But when i try to load this kernel it says CPU=0 and frquency 0 and HANGS
there.................grrrrrrrrr
I also checked the /lib/modules/2.4.20/build/.config file it is fine and
present.
Please suggest what i am going wrong?
Thanx..
Gaurav
