Thanks for all your support. Yesterday evening I reconfigured the kernel again, and I added SCSI I think, but I also removed some generic IDE drivers and just kept the VIA driver for ide. Recompiled, and rebooted. And voila, it booted :) I will compare the two .config's to see what I actually did that made it work.
But there is a lot of work left before it's complete: * APCI don't work (powerbutton) * Framebuffer at startup (like on the install-cd, which looks nice) * Mouse-support (maybe this comes with the framebuffer, as I can see it detects the mouse) * Swedish keymap (I didnt get the config correct, but I know how to now) * X (Hmm. If I would have choosen Windows instead, I would have been up and running with Cubase in 3 hours max, but I would not have learned so much) A few questions: - When I recompile the kernel and replace an existingly (in lilo) configured kernel, do I have to rerun lilo ? - Neil: How have you configured your frambuffer support in lilo/grub ? The handbook is some what confusing in this matter I think ? - How much do I earn in speed by optimising and removing unneeded options in the kernel ? Or is it just kernel-size ?
