Well I might get a flame for this one, but here it goes.
The other night I started my upgrade from RH 2.0.36-0.7 to 2.2.0 and I never
did get it to run. I had done mv my linux dir to a backup dir, my rm so
certain files were only symlinks to the kernel. I had done my make config,
make dep, make clean, make modules, and make modules_install. I noticed I
had 2 errors coming out of my make zImage, plus it said zImage too large try
bzImage, and I had opted for any features to be in the image. Any ways after
getting a small piece of advise from someone in my local LUG group I was
told the first thing I was missing, the most important piece after copying
my zImage to /boot.
So the next day I edited my /etc/lilo.conf file to point to
image=/boot/vlinuz-2.2.0. and ran /sbin/lilo. Now when I boot up my PC
after it starts to uncompress my kernel it stops at
Kernel panic : kernel compiled for pentium + requires TSC
In swapper task - not syncing
I have tried it as both a 386, and a 586 in my make config step both with
the same results. Is there some file I am forgetting to remove each time I
try the process over? I am running on a cyrix (unfortunately) 166 w/ 64Megs
of memory. I hopefully figured that as of 2.2.0 I would not have to run my
system in a 386 config (I think) even though it says i586 at the top of the
screen after boot up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Sincerely,
Jrsimon
