kernel error?

[optech]

make menuconfig
make deps
make clean
make bzImage

link /boot/vmlinux2 -> /usr/src/linux/vmlinuz
add the new kernel to lilo
run lilo
reboot
load new kernel

says:
Loading......... <freeze>


is this a compile problem or a lilo problem?

i've never had this before, so i don't know where to even look for information on it.

Make sure you have the right processor type. Had the same problem a few months ago and I chose PII instead of Pentium MMX and that heppened to me.

[optech]

i made sure to chose pentium mmx... it defaults to pIII...
it doesn't give me any other info than what i gave either...

[sincka]

Alright so which kernel (version) are you using?

What is your type of processor?

And what did you choose in the kernel compilation?

[optech]

my kernel is 2.4.3
my chip is a pentium MMX 200
i disable everything i didn't need in the kernel, and i picked the right parameters.
that much i know.
but why it stops after loading 10 pages... :confused:

i hate linux... hehe, oh wait, no i don't! :cool:

[sincka]

Sorry man... the only other thing I might suggest is trying kernel 2.4 or 2.4.2 to see if it is with the kernel (don't think so but hey)

Good luck man

[optech]

nope, it's doin this with the other kernels too

Is a symbolic link like that ok?
In any case, shouldn't you be using /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage? (after all, you did do a "make bzImage")
I would try the bzImage file and actually copy it to /boot.
