hi! now i compiled the kernel manually, nearly with the same kernel configs as genkernel used, and now finally my system boots without panic! what i changed in the kernel config (from the 'genkernel'-config): 1.) i changed JFS support from module to be compiled into kernel => CONFIG_JFS_FS=y 2.) i activated the 'automatically mount at boot'-feature of /dev-fs support => CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT=y that are the only 2 differenced between the kernel-configs (i took these changes from the installation doc, from the manual kernel configuration) but actually i don't think that was the problem, that the kernel paniced... what do you think? the other thing, what is different, is the lilo-configuration! for the 'genkernel'-kernel i used the 'genkernel'-section in the lilo.conf of the installation doc. for the manually compiled kernel i used the 'manual'-section of this lilo.conf... i dont't know what this line in the lilo.conf for the 'genkernel'-kernel really does. i wonder if it is really neccessary...? it says: append="root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc" maybe this caused the kernel-panic-problem? or is it, that the /dev-fs was not mounted during boot? -- martin Zitat von jan meier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hello, > do a manual kernel configuration with `make menuconfig´, > then you adjust the kernel configuration to your system. > This should work. > bye jan > > > > Zitat von Gwendolyn van der Linden > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > > > > what is the cause of this? just before the kernel panic usb > > > > was detected. > > > > but what in the process of usb detection causes the system > > > > to hang? i have > > > > nothing attached on my usb-ports, keyboard & mouse are on PS/2... > > > > > > What kernel?
