Gettig invalid compressed format (err2)
 

Hi I followed the instructions on installing the 2.6 kernel from this Forum and when I go to boot into it I get .

Invalid compress format (err=2)

System Halt

When I googled this I get stuff on Crams and Initrd but I am not using these.Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

zimage? bzimage?


Be a bit more verbose about what you did,
"I followed the instructions in this forum" doesn't
help me at all :}


Cheers,

Fixe Issue
 

Sorry for not replying earlier but have been very sick. I fixed the problem with a new compile. It is a bzImage and must of had a compilation error. Thanks for the reply.

I got the same problem by doing

cd /usr/src
tar -jxvf /home/user/linux-2.6.12.3.tar.bz2
rm linux
ln -s linux-2.6.12.3 linux
cd linux-2.6.12.3
make menuconfig
make
make modules
make modules_install
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6.12.3
cp System.map /boot/System.map

and when I boot

invalid compressed format (err=2)

I'll try recompiling and copying the vmlinuz instead of the bzimage into /boot
