Ok here goes,
these are some errors i am getting when my redhat 7.2 computer boots up with the kernel i compiled v2.4.19

I was wondering if someone would mind expleining what they mean and how to fix them? i think they might have something to do with why one of my cdroms only works with my new kernel?

these are the errors:
the errors are the bold bits.

checking filesystems:
/boot: clean
/music: clean
[B]mounting local fs: mount: fs type devpts not supported by kernel[/B
FAILED

Enabling swap space OK
/bin/cat: /proc/modules: nosuch file or directory
/bin/cat: /proc/ksyms: no such file or directory

Init: entering runlevel 5

Initiating Random Number Generator OK
mounting othe filesystems mount: fs devpts not supported by kernel
FAILED

*this extract may not be entirely exact.

When i built my kernel i did:
make mrproper
make xconfig
make dep
make clean
make bzImage

and then copied the bzImage to /boot

nothing else
should i have done something else? this is all i could work out that i had to do.

Any help again much appreciated!

This isn't a serious error, you simply ommited support for devpts in your kernel configuration.

Regards

cheers thats good to know

but what are devpts? what catagory in xconfig would you guess it to be in?

sorry about the 101 questions!

I was just looking through my /var/log/messages file and noticed this appeared too.

Modprobe: modprobe: Cant locate module block-major-2

what is that module? and what does that mean??

all a bit much for me just yet
