Problems with upgrading to kernel 2.6.9
Hi,
In order to get my wireless (centrino) working I set out to install kernel 2.6.9 on my hp zt3000 (distribution Suse 9.0, kernel 2.4.21). So, I have compiled and rebooted, but I get the blank screen after I select the new kernel in grub. I can think of a few possibilities of what went wrong, but I couldn't figure out.
1. I used gcc3.3 (contrary to advise in Readme to use 2.9.53)
2. I didn't generate a new initrd file (is it necessary?)
3. In grub, I am using the same grub options that I used for my older kernel, namely:
kernel (hd0,6)/boot/2-6-9/bzImage root=/dev/hda7 vga=0x317 splash=silent desktop hdc=ide-scsi hdclun=0 showopts
initrd (hd0,6)/boot/initrd
What can possibly be wrong? Any help is appreciated.
Happy holidays!
