kernel 2.4 and debian

[zappy]

Actually I'm running Stormix. I have followed every step from the NHF and everything seems to have gone without a hitch
only thing is when I try to boot the kernel
it says "Loading linux.2.4.................
Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel." and the just sits there. Anyone have any ideas? Also whats the deal with root.bin?

Reboot with an old kernel and recompile the 2.4.0 kernel, then install it, and then 'lilo'.

Yes, yes. It's a *****. Same thing happened to me and I have no idea what is wrong. I just went back to 2.2.18 http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

Although I will mess around and try to find out why it does that. Right now I have no time... (stupid school http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif )

Anyway... if you find out why that happenes post it up.

That usually means that when you picked your options in "make xconfig" (or make config, or make menuconfig, but hopefully you are use xconfig; it makes it much easier for most people), you did not select the right options somewhere. You may have included too many things, or not enough of the right stuff. Have another look at the kernel compile options using make xconfig again.
