Reboot Problem
Hey all,
So i followed the kernel compile guide for n00bs, and everything seemed to work fine, but now, when i boot and the lilo screen appears, i have my two options, Linux.old, and Slack, as i should, but when i choose "Slack" which is the new kernel (2.4.21) it just immediately reboots. However, i can boot to Linux.old perfectly fine. btw... this is off of a fresh install of slack 9 thanks in advance for any help on this problem p.s. DaOne -- GREAT POST |
Must have gotten something crucial in the
kernel wrong :} ... compare your configuration against the existing hardware again. Cheers, Tink |
?
could my CyrixIII processor be the problem ?? i don't see anything about Cyrix in the ".config" file
|
What CPU did you chose in your custom
kernel, and what is your cyrix most compatible to? Cheers, Tink |
i chose pentium III because that is the one it is closest to
|
Age-wise, speed-wise or architecture-wise? ;)
I've never come across one of those, but I'd try pentium for a change. edit: OK, I've looked into my kernel config and most certainly there IS a Cyrix III/VIA support there (Kernel 2.4.21) Cheers, Tink |
i was just looking in the ".config" file and i now see CyrixIII, missed it before
Thanks for all you help tink. btw, its a proc and mobo i got from a discard and just pieced together a system from parts laying around, just trying to make it run thanks again |
Pleasure mate, enjoy! :)
Cheers, Tink |
tink,
just wanted to let you know that i recompiled with the cyrixIII and i worked great thanks again |
