Is this after you reboot? If so, it would make sense, since nowhere did
you copy the new kernel into /boot/bzImage. 'make bzImage' only creates a
new kernel and places it in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage (or
equivalent if you're not on Intel). You still need to copy that into /boot
I'm guess that 'make install' installs the new kernel into /boot, but I'm
not sure, since I always copy the new kernel myself. That way, I can keep
backups of the old kernels in case the new one doesn't work. My /boot
directory looks something like:
System.map -> System.map-2.2.14
System.map-2.2.13
System.map-2.2.14
vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.2.14
vmlinuz.old -> vmlinuz-2.2.13
vmlinuz-2.2.13
vmlinuz-2.2.14
and the other stuff is there too, of course, but I never touch it. My
lilo.conf has one entry for linux, one for linuxold, and all I do every
time is redo the symlinks and rerun lilo. Works like a charm.
