I can't seem to build a kernel on a (e-machine) celeron 433 machine for
use on a lowlier processor (like an amd K5 166, or my rise MP6 266 powered
i-opener). I have used both the stock kernel rpm from wolverine, and a
2.4.2 tarball.
I've been trying to build a kernel for my i-opener since I now have a hard
drive for it. Every kernel I build makes it to the poitn where it says
Freeing unused kernel memory: 220k freed
and then hangs. Tonight I tried booting one of these kernels on an amd k5
166 and it did the same thing. I also know that both machines boot and run
windows 98 fine.
Of course I have been choosing the i586/blah/blah.. processor type when I
build them, and they boot fine on the machine I compiled them on (the
celeron).
I have tried both modular and monolithic, as well as a range of attempts
at slimming th ekernel down to next to nothing (to the point where it
wouldn't even boot :))
All attempts fail.
Can anyone offer advise?
thanks
charles
