Dear Friends i have installed RHel5-(kernel 2.6.18-8.el5)...since i was interested in upgrading the kernel to the latest one - 2.6.31.6,i installed the latest GCC-4.4.2 successfully.i was able to launch #make config
and do most of the instructions given on the site called
http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/compil...kernel-26.html
but after rebooting i got these errors
PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE ATTACHED IMAGE TAKEN FROM MOBILE CAMERA
also the contents of the grun.conf is as follows
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
# root (hd0,7)
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda8
# initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda

i did edit the line "kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31.6 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet" to "kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31.6 ro root=LABEL=/dev/sda8"...so i got somewhat the same errors... could u please tell me how to fix this and get into the box...and also i would like to know whether its safe to delete the contents of the folder named /usr/src/redhat/linux-2.6.31.6 after this installation...
thanking you in anticipation
regards ASIF
