Stops at: Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel
 

Damn that is too weird...
I patched to kernel 2.6.5.I did the first 2 recompilations(uh..forgot some things like ntfs support..) and then i reboot and everything fine.As soon as i tried to mount my external nfts disk i remembered that i removed the "scsi disk support".So i give "make menuconfig" along with that i put as a built module "UTF-8" support at Native Languages..then "make , make modules_install , make install" .. i reboot and it stops at "Uncompressing Linux.... blah" my computer freezes(Caps Lock not working ;) ) and i get no other message.I reboot and get into "slack.old" ..i recompile the kernel but along with the last changes(scsi && utf-8) i remove something about binary kernel support(something about elf and a.out binary support. which i had remove partially at the first buggy recomplation) i reboot and it stops at "Uncompressing Linux.... blah" my computer freezes(Caps Lock not working ;) ) and i get no other message.

I put my installation(9.1) cd and give boot:root=/dev/hda1 but i get "No kernel image found : root"
then i give "boot:bare.i root=/dev/hda1" ...i get into console and i give poweroff.I get some weird messages and oh lala i press enter and kernel 2.4.22 boots(but i had deleted modules and src of 2.4.22) .i log on and i try to recompile 2.6.5 including kernel binary support.I do make -- make modules_install -- make install - i reboot but shit..the same as before .. It stops at "Uncompressing ...blah blah"

What can i do except from reinstalling slack ???


PS:this installation is on a laptop and i never had any problems with hardaware compatibility or with acpi or with apm...I did no added or removed any hardware...

Run lilo after recompiling your kernel

As for modules, I've always used:

make modules

make modules_install


I dunno if what your using makes a difference as to your modules (I can't imagine why it would cause the bootup problems though)

Done it several times.

At the end of make it prints out to screen that it compiles modules.Despite that i never had any problems with modules before only by giving "make"

2.6 kernel doesnt need make modules instruction

what are your entry's for the new kernel in lilo???

I get the same thing after my 2.6.5 kernel. "Uncompressing Linux....Booting LInux" and then nothing else.

"Uncompressing Linux....Booting LInux" and then stuck in initramfs
 

I am also getting same problem
what i need to do ...I dont know what went wrong.
actully i tried made a new syscall and replace the kernel entry in menu.lst in /boot/grub with my updated boot/vmlinuz2.6.22.14


Please help me I already spent many hr on this
