Hi All, Running Mandrake 8.2 kernel 2.4.18-6mdk default installation. I wanted to add support for lkcd (Linux Kernel Crash Dump), so i downloaded from kernels.org the 2.4.18 kernel.
1. Patched the kernel with lkcd patch. 2. I copied /boot/configs from current configuration to /usr/src/linux/.configs in the hope of having same config as current running kernel. 3. Ran make xconfig, and enabled lkcd under kernel Hacking, including lkcd gzip compression. Save, exit. 4. Ran make dep. Then ran make bzImage. Moved bzImage to /boot/mylkcdknl 5. Added /boot/mylkcdknl to lilo.conf, and ran lilo. (copy of lilo entry below) 6. Reboot, tried to boot new kernel, FAILS!! Last messages:: Error 19 mounting reiserfs Kernel Panic: No init found..... All i added was lkcd support to new kernel, otherwise it should be exactly same as original, right? Any ideas on getting this new kernel to work are welcomed. _Thanks Richard Mollel ***************Lilo.conf Entry*********** image=/boot/vmlinuz label=linux-nonfb root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="devfs=mount hdd=ide-scsi" read-only image=/boot/mylkcdknl label=mylkcdknl root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-6mdk.img append="devfs=mount hdd=ide-scsi" read-only ===== ===== __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
