Enable Kernel Modules

Here are the problems I had during modules_install

I'm not sure how to fix that. It seems to be specific to the ia64 architecture and has something to do with DMA mapping (swiotlb, that is). Have a look around the options for something like that. Other than that you can try a different kernel (like 2.4.25). I've noticed sometimes a different version will compile perfectly while another wont even with the same options.

Btw, what gcc version are you using? Try specifically using 2.95.

alright, i went down to the 2.4.25 kernel and I got it to make and compile with no errors or unresolved symbols. I copied bzImage to /boot and the configured grub. (at least i thought i did). Whenever I try to boot into the kernel, nothing happens. The screen goes black. Here's the output of
ls /boot

Code:

.                          message
..                         System.map-2.4.21-149-default

initrd                     vmlinuz-2.4.26

and /boot/grub/menu.lst is

Anyone see any errors in this config? If not any ideas on what to do to see what could be wrong

I'm sorry but I can't see any errors. However, I'm not the person to be talking to about this. I assume that the option to boot your new kernel did appear, right?

You could also try taking out the "splash=silent" option. I'm not sure what that does but right now it couldn't hurt seeing as you want as much feedback on you kernel booting as possible.

adz · 05-03-2004, 08:08 AM

I just thought of another thing. Try taking out the initrd line. That is, if the above doesn't help.
