I just installed the new 2.4.17 kernel on my Redhat 7.2 system. I used make oldconfig, then make xconfig to configure the ext3 changes, and vfat support. I then made the bzImage, copied it to /boot, and renamed it. I then did make modules, and make modules_install After rebooting, everything looks fine on the surface, except for two (maybe related) problems.
1st. It cannot find my mouse. And it even tries to remove it during the hardware detection stage. When I reboot to the old kernel 2.4.7, it finds it fine. It's a simple Logitech Wheel USB mouse. This is cause X not to start, so I'm trying to get advice on how I can troubleshoot this from the command line. I have found very little on the web about installing modules, IF that is the problem. The 2nd is, it's giving me this modprobe error about not being able to find char-10-135 around the time it syncs with the system clock. This is a minor error, but it may give some clues on the previous problem. I think both might have something to do with my modules not being installed correctly. Eventhough I have followed the linuxdoc instructions explicitly. I would appreciate any help with this, as this is my first kernel install, and hopefully my last, as I hope the 2.4 series is stabilized as far as development. I've been waiting quite a while just for this upgrade. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
