Hey TriLUG,
I recently upgraded to mandrake Community 10.1 on my (ancient) Dell laptop... To get my ACX-100 based wireless card working, I had to recompile the kernel, which I've doon before... but this time, after configuring the kernel, doing a 'make', 'make modules','make modules_install' and a 'make bzImage', something went wrong. I installed the new image in /boot and added it to LILO, rebooted, and I got:
Decompressing vmlinuz............. BIOS Data Check Successful.
And then my machine rebooted. Finding this Odd, I changed my configuration and recompiled. No dice.
On a hunch, I cd'ed to /usr/src/linux and tried to execute './vmlinux'... just to see what would happen.
It segfaulted! Is this normal???
I then ran gdb on my new kernel... when I told GDB to run, I got:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0xc010000000 in startup_32()
That's the whole backtrace. 0xc010000000 in startup_32(). It segfaults the moment it loads! Which leads me to believe that's what happened when I tried to boot my new kernel.
So, now I'm stuck and don't know what I did wrong. Any thoughts?
Thanks Guys!
