slackware 10.2 not responding after compile kernel 2.6.13
hi
i install slackware 10.2 in Toshiba labtop
and its working fine , but i cant use my wireless card
so i had to compile the new kernel 2.6.13 to get it work
now ,when i start the computer its hangs
its say
===================
<Probing for PCIC : edit /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia>
cardmgr {1453} : watching 1 socket
===================
then the labtop stop responding
ok
try using the test26.s kernel on the slackware CD.
there are many reasons why a recompiled kernel won't boot so it is pretty difficult to go into it. the best thing to do is use the test26.s kernel
once that is working then you can either tweak it to what you want or use the .config file on a newer kernel
I have a problem, after compiling kernel 2.6.13 on Slackware 10.2, my keyboard PS/2 do not work???
My "boot" goes just fine,and when it gives me login prompt,I can't use keyboard.
Dark() compare your kernel .config with pat's at http://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux...ernels/testing to see what is missing(especially Input device support and Input Device Drivers) to get keyboard working. I use test26.s(2.6.13) kernel with PS/2 keyboard working fine. Good luck.
d_d what motherboard(chips) and what wireless card are you trying to setup? Section 26 Wireless Networking in Slackware Handbook(http://www.slackersbible.org/book/) may help.Chapter5.5 in Slackware Linux Essentials may also help. See if ndiswrapper works with your card.
Also tuxmobile or linux on laptop may have slackware install note for your lappy.
If your wireless card is not in 2.6.13 .config file, you can look at http://wiki.kernelnewbies.org/LinuxChanges for description of what newer kernels support. Pat has 2.6.14 and 2.6.15 kernel configs available too.
Happy Slacking
A config might be good on one computer and not work at all on another because of different hardware.
Might be an idea to reinstall the stock kernel that came with the distro, and then have a look at the config for that and try compile in your card support without touching any other options.
