Cause I tried so, but my kernels did not work... don't really know why, so I'm trying to look for the reason, so I wanted to start step by step, first compiling one using genkernel's ocnfig, and then, start removing options and including things to kernel. > > 5.-) Edited menu.lst (just copied genkernel entry and modified to my > > new bzimage and initram files) > > menu.lst with vmlinuz and vmlinuz.old is all what you need, when you > use make install and don't use an initrd. Yep, I wanted to say that I used options needed by genkernel's config: kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.21-gentoo-r4 root=/dev/ram0 / init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hde3 vga=0x318 / video=vesafb:mtrr:3 udev > > but my new kernel did not start, and gave me a kernel panic... > > what type of panic? root fs not found? Mmmmm... don't remember but I could look for it. But, my original question is trying to look for the reason why kernel compiled by hang using genkernel's config file does not work at first time. I used genkernel for new kernel and worked fine. and config used is same in both case: 1.-) genkernel's: zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config-2.6 2.-) by hand gunzip /proc/config.gz && mv to .config > > So I wonder what differences could be between my compilation and > > genkernel one... > > I don't know - but I know that genkernel's config sucks. I don't agree. I has lots of unused options that many people don't use, right, but I can ensure that this "genric" kernel's runs in many diff hw configs, so I does what it's supposed to.
