Hi, I tried to build my first custom kernel for IA64 (zx2000) and failed. I am new to this architecture (though not to Debian and kernel building) and I feel like I am missing something. The kernel compiles fine, but on boot, it reboots the machine just after displaying 'Uncompressing Linux'.
This is what I did. apt-get install kernel-patch-2.4.20-ia64 cd /usr/src tar xjf kernel-source... cd kernel-source-2.4.20 run-parts /usr/src/kernel-patches/ia64/apply/ cp /usr/src/kernel-patches/ia64/config.mckinley .config plus the XFS 1.3 patches from oss.sgi.org/projects/xfs make-kpkg --revision test1 kernel_image Any tips ... ?
