Did you try to rebuild your kernel from source? I had no
luck at all on my laptop till I followed this procedure.
/usr/src/kernel-2.4.19-Xmdk/
save .config
make mrproper
restore .config if you want
make *config
make bzImage modules
make modules_install install
Should allways work. Try it.
Hi,
Try running it from my directions, it will automatically
rename the new kernel to -XXcustom. You will end up with a
complete new kernel and all the drakboot entries. I have
tried using your approach and it never left me with a
usable system. The method I listed is what I have been
using in

You shouldn't really delete lib/modules/KERNEL_VERSION, and is not
necessary if you're changing the EXTRAVERSION
That's what I figured. It's running 'make modules' right now and I didn't
delete the /lib/modules/KERNEL_VERSION directory this time so we'll see
what happens. I was trying to follow the directions word for word last
time and I keep writing down every step - this time it's GOT to work!

Hey Simon,
This is what I did:
cd to /usr/src/2.4.19-xx
make mrproper (didn't bother saving .config since I
hadn't put anything in it yet.)
edit makefile changing extraversion to 'mikescustom'
delete
Success
Thanks everyone for your help - I've finally learned how to recompile my
kernel Ya-hoo!!!
The only problem I had on the last round was that lilo choked because make
install chose to long of a name for the label tag in lilo.conf.
I fixed that and everything else went great!
Hello,
I just finished trying to recompile my kernel for the third time; I'm sure I
followed all the steps exactly as described on the MUO pages and when it
gets to the make install part - it fails on mkinitrd. I try doing it
manually as the error message suggests and I get:
mke2fs 1.27
Mike when you say rescue do you mean it can't boot or it can boot but
the new kernel isn't usable? OR you don't know if it will reboot and
don't dare find out *grin*

:-) yup - number 3 is the answer. I know from the previous times at this
point that it's not going to boot; now I just want to see if maybe there's
a bug in mkinitrd or something like that?

Cool, give me a little bit and I'll send it - I've got to see if I can
extract that stuff now.
