Hi. I don't know about this, but i'm with problems in making
the kernel I compiled to work. All the compilation and linking
is ok. I've used the sequence:
make menuconfig
make dep
make zImage
make modules
make modules_install
that I think is correct. When it's done, I copy the 'vmlinux' file
to '/', update '/etc/lilo.conf', and execute '/sbin/lilo'. All is
ok, but when the system reboots, lilo begins an infinite loop:
Lilo loading Linux
Lilo loading Linux
...
So, I press <SHIFT>, and make the system load the old kernel.
What's wrong? It's some option that is necessary in kernel?
I've tried other things to, like a 'make clear', or mark and
unmark some options in menuconfig, but nothing works.
Other thing: I don't have a PCI bus in my machine, so I've
unmarked the PCI options in menuconfig, but in this case, there
is some unreferenced links to some "...pci..." functions, and
the kernel isn't linked. So, I've remarked the PCI options.
The PCI functions are necessary for other options? If yes,
which are? They can be unmarked securely?
Thanks.
