laptopdebs, successfully, i compilied and installed kernel 2.2.16. oddly, it only works for my deskbox. the 2 laptops would have nothing to do with it _after the 2d reboot_. (in other words, the laptops would boot the compiled 2.2.16 kernel from a floppy, but when i rebooted after that, from the same floppy, i ended up with "kernel panic: vfs: unable to mount fs on 03:01". and then, it hangs...to the point where i cannot even mount /; so then i have to do a fresh slink install.)
i used the same compile method for both the deskbox and lapboxes: "make menuconfig;make dep;make install;make modules;make modules_install." (each machine had its own kernel complile.) partition scheme: /dev/hda1 1.5mb (/) /dev/hda2 128k (swap) /dev/hda3 333k (/backup) laptop #1: p233/32ram laptop #2: p400/64ram ...suggestions? thx. bentley taylor. //
