Boot LinuxOLD and scan the kernel boot messages /var/log/messages
for the two kernels and see if you can find differences. The boot
process very probably doesn't get this far so you can try CTRL-s CTRL-q
to try and stop/start the boot messages before they go by.
Possibilities I can think of:
* In 'make menuconfig':
- the processor type may have inadvertently been set wrong.
- hardware you need getting missed
* Failure to rerun Lilo after compilation.
If you have the old source tree you can copy the .config file to the
new
tree and run 'make oldconfig' which will transfer your old settings to
the new kernel while getting prompted for the differences.
Hoping this helps,
Terry.
