I have been having some difficulty getting a newly compiled kernel to work on my system. I have successfully compiled and installed before but this problem has stumped me.Does this mean that after printing these two lines, the screen flashes a few times and then goes black and locks up, or does it continually flash and there's no way to stop it, or what?Basically, I compile (using make-kpkg) and install the kernel. WhenI try to boot it, though, the only things that are printed to the screen are:Loading linux Bios Check Successful(Though the screen flashes so fast, I am not sure if it fully sure if it writes the whole phrase).
I assume that when you compiled the kernel you specified to optimize for the P3 and not for a Duron or something similar?
Any number of things could go wrong with a kernel compile. You might start by posting your .config file so we can look for anything obvious.
