Re: [gentoo-user] Computer Reboots Instantly

    Question, where did the 3rd line come from?

    This is what I get.

cat /proc/config
cat: /proc/config: No such file or directory

    I tried it on my IA32 and PA-RISC machines both gave the same response.

perhaps you should try:
cd /usr/src/linux

make oldconfig   (just hold down return, that selects defaults.)
make dep && make -j4  modules bzImage  modules_install 
mount  /boot
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/testkernel && sync &&  umount /boot
cat << EOF > ~/add_to_grub
title=Testkernel panicmode
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/testkernel root=/dev/hda3 init=/bin/sash
EOF

this should make a new panic-mode bootable in your system, if that
works, start tweaking from there :)
    

That's a great idea. I hadn't thought of that. Thanks a lot, I'll give
it a shot when I get home from work and see if it works.
