Why ? We're into 2.6.0-test now, 2.5.75 is comparatively ancient. By all means keep with this version until you have it sonfigured to your satisfaction, but there have been quite a lot of changes since 2.5.75. > Then I copied arch/i386/boot/bzImage to /boot/vmlinuz-2.5.75 and System.map to > /boot/System.map-2.5.75 > > When I now restart my System with this Kernel, I get following "error"-message > in /var/log/boot.msg: > #################################### > Inspecting /boot/System.map-2.5.75 > Loaded 26091 symbols from /boot/System.map-2.5.75. > Symbols match kernel version 2.5.75. > No module symbols loaded - kernel modules not enabled. > > [... ] > Sounds as if you compiled everything into the kernel, instead of building some things as modules. If you use `make menuconfig', you need to set things to 'm' instead of 'y' (been there, inadvertently built everything in to my first 2.5 kernel). - I see you've got a .config that works, so that's not a bad start for 2.5/2.6. > modprobe: FATAL: Module char_major_4 not found. > #################################### > The modprobe error appears many times... > I assume this is because you've built it without modules, but did you realise late-2.5 and 2.6 kernels will need Rusty's module init tools ? (look in Documentation/ for the file setting out what you need, the module tools are available on kernel.org mirrors in the people/rusty directory.) > I edited the modules.conf in the way it is described on > http://www.dhaller.de/linux/multikernel.html > (It's german, but hope you understand it anyway) > I've never before seen anything like this (`uname -r` in the name of the modules.conf file), I was going to say that I couldn't see why anybody would do that, but I guess it can be useful in going to 2.5/2.6 (e.g. CDR/W drive using ide-scsi in 2.4 and ide-cd in 2.6). But I don't think this is the problem, it looks as if you haven't built the modules so you can't load them. > I think I put the files at the wrong places... > Can you help me? > > Thanks, > Dennis Schridde > Ken -- <censored> - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
