Installing new kernel 2.6.17 on Ultra5
Hi,
I have just compiled a new kernel for my Ultra5 using Debian's kernel-package system.
BootP gets to the point of 'Booting into Linux...' and stops. No error message nothing, just halts where it is! If I change vmlinuz to point at the old kernel it works fine.
I'm obviously missing something but what?
My / links are:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 May 28 2005 vmlinuz.old -> boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-sun4u
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Sep 14 15:39 vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-
2.6.17.060914-sun4u
My silo.conf is:
partition=1
root=/dev/hda1
timeout=100
image=1/vmlinuz
label=linux
read-only
My /boot is:
