Actually, a little more detail goes along way but first let us see if we
can "feel" our way to the solution. I have had a similiar problem when I
compiled my 2.4.4 kernel. I have a K6-2 450MHz 64MB RAM and I ran mine
with K6/K6II/K6III processor family support. My error occured in the
"make install" phase of my kernel compile. I ran my commands in this
order:
"make mrproper && make menuconfig && make dep && make clean && make
bzImage && make install && make modules && make modules_install"
My error was along the lines:
There is no root= defined you are going in trouble
There is an error when regenerating lilo, you may have to check
your
/etc/lilo.conf
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/2.4.4/arch/i386/boot'
make: *** [install] Error 2
I went into /etc/lilo.conf and discovered that yes, root= had no
information for my new kernel entry. I manually added the same
information as was in my previous kernel for the same line;
"root="/dev/hda9"
I next ran the command from this point like so:
"make install && make modules && make modules_install"
I watched the screen closely reading the output seeing what will happen
when the "make install" program will reach that same point. It gave the
error of the first four lines of the original error but underneath that
it said that the entry had already existed and continued with the
compilation. Did any of this help? Also before I began to compile my
2.4.4 kernel, I read the "Documentation/Changes" and discovered that
only one package of my LM 8.0 distribution needed updating;
reiserfsprogs.3.x.0j (Mine was reiserfsprogs.3.x.0i). This is very
important and dear to me as my whole linux OS is running off of a full
reiserfs journaling file system. I hope I was helpful if not
informative.
