kernel bootup error

[i8degrees]

hello, i am having a problem with booting up any kernel that i compile. i have just compiled the linux kernel 2.2.18 successfully. but when i restart the system, it stops at Uncompressing kernel... OK, booting up linux. the system appears to be loading up everything, but nothing shows... i also tried this with kernel 2.4.0 with the same problem. if you need me to post the commands i used to compile the kernel, ill do that... i think its something to do with how i compile this thing.

Most likely you have choosed filesystem or other crucial support as module (M) and kernel can't get to that stage yet and perform that specific task...When you configure kernel look on the left side for HELP and see what it have to say...oh and don't forget to update lilo.conf with your new kernel entry and rerun it.Hope this helps.
