Problems upgrading to 2.6
Hi,
I'm new to Linux so please be patient with me.
I installed knoppix 3.3 onto my hard drive and then using kpackage installed the 2.6.0-test4 kernel. It said to update lilo and I'm not too sure if I've done this properly.
----------------------------------------------------------
image=/vmlinuz
label="Linux 2.6"
read-only
initrd=/initrd.img // tried without this aswell
------------------------------------------------------------
/vmlinuz = /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.0-test4-1-386
/initrd.img = /boot/initrd.img-2.6.0-test4--386
I also set vga=normal as I had read there may be some problems other wise, also used the origional setting.
when I ran lilo I got a warning message saying: "The boot sector and map file are on different disks" but I don't think that is my problem as I can boot into 2.4 OK.
When I boot and choose 2.6 all I get is
"Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel"
and then nothing happens.
Could I please get some help to get 2.6 running as I'm working with a device that only works under 2.6.
Cheers
McGiv
