The Custom Kernel that Wouldn't Boot.
Hi everyone,
I've been trying to compile a custom kernel to use the Linux Progress Patch
Gordon Fraser was nice to provide me with, and also to optimize the kernel
for my Pentium II processor.
However, I seem to have a kernel that refuses to boot. Once it starts the
frame buffer, it simple quits doing anything (this is the case with or
without the Linux Progress Patch.
Here is what it says in the /var/log/messages file:
---------------
Feb 27 21:50:56 dellbert kernel: Kernel logging (proc) stopped.
Feb 27 21:50:56 dellbert kernel: Kernel log daemon terminating.
Feb 27 21:50:56 dellbert exiting on signal 15
---------------
Oh, the /var/log/lastlog file says:
---------------
??}<tty1
---------------
Finally (I'm not sure if this means anything or not), but I also found this
in /var/log/ksmoops/20020227.log (seems odd that it mentioned the snd module,
since that probably shouldn't have been modprobed until some other stuff
happened):
---------------
20020227 215051 start modprobe snd safemode=0
20020227 215051 probe ended
20020227 215052 start modprobe snd safemode=0
20020227 215052 probe ended
20020227 215052 start modprobe snd safemode=0
20020227 215052 probe ended
20020227 215053 start modprobe snd safemode=0
20020227 215053 probe ended
---------------
Oh, if it's helpful, I posted my Linux Kernel configuration file at
http://www.uninetsolutions.com/tbutler/linux/LinuxConfiguration.txt . I've
been building it with this command:
fakeroot make-kpkg --bzimage binary-arch modules_image --initrd
--revision=1trb --config xconfig
Any ideas what the problem might be?
TIA,
Tim
