Running Mandrake 7.2 on a PII.
OK, so I decided to try my luk with the 2.4 kernel. This is kernel
2.4.0-0.31mdk (this is the code downloaded via Mandrake Update, I
believe).
Anyway, this is what I did:
cd /usr/src/kernel-hack
make menuconfig
<choose what I wanted>
make dep clean bzImage modules modules_install
cd arch/i386/boot
cp bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.0
cd /usr/src/kernel-hack
cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.0
cd /boot
mkinitrd initrd-2.4.0.img 2.4.0-0.31mdk
Edited /etc/lilo.conf to include a new entry:
image = vmlinuz-2.4.0
initrd = /boot/initrd-2.4.0.img
label = 2.4.0
Did "lilo -v"
Rebooted; chose the new "2.4.0" option.
It proceeds to start to boot into runlevel 5.
Q1: how can I specify runlevel 2? I *don't* want to automatically boot
into a GUI; I want a console prompt for this kernel.
It gets as far as "Building Window Manager Session" ... and dies. Just
sits there. No disk activity, no nothing.
Any ideas on what I have done wrong? I don't even see anything in the
logs (syslog, messages) to even indicate a 2.4 boot.
Has the procedure to compile changed from the 2.2 kernels?
