ok, this will be my last try before a complete reinstallation of linux (hopefully with ntfs filesystem as well). I've tried make bzImage and make install, one of them had put the booting option into GRUB, so that the next time I booted up I had the options kernel-source-2.4.18-custom plus my other usual options. If I continue booting with that option the computer just resets itself and enters to the GRUB menu screen again, and if I continue booting with that option the computer just resets itself and enters to the GRUB menu screen again......(get the picture?)
So, the question is that.....is there a way around this or my computer is just stuffed (set up to be windows friendly only)? Is it worth reinstalling? If I were to reinstall, should I choose to include ntfs file server option to include the ntfs filesystem?
