See the SxS on recompiles this list. However you do not save the kernel as bzImage, you are supposed do a copy as follows: cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18 and then call this with grub as vmlinuz-2.4.18 otherwise how can you tell which kernel is which in /boot/grub/menu.lst. You did not overwrite or delete the original kernel entry did you? You use this to boot into linux in case of a 'fire' -- Keith Antoine (GANDALF) aka 'skippy' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061 Australia PH:61733002161 Retired Geriatric, Sometime Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
