kernel panic Aiee, killing interrupt handler!


Yesterday, i started to install tightVNC on my system and it failed the make with error2 so i didn't finish with make install, i just halted the sysytem.
This morning, i could not boot this kernel 2.4.20.19.9 i started with sshd failed and boom: kernel panic. I had to start with an older kernel.

Is there a way to save this kernel... or am i getting to sentimental over it?

There's not a lot of info you've provided us, if you didn't ever do a make install with TightVNC, then none of the system files should have been changed. It's likely something else. Since you can boot an older kernel though, I'd just look into compiling a new one and be done with it.

But I'm curious as to what else you did, a:
./configure
make
Wouldn't affect system files unless something was wrong with the code (don't do those with root...).

If you are getting as far as sshd attempting to start, maybe it's just a problem with the initrd image.

Cool

Why?

Unless you are in the habit of looking at the Makefile and source code of your applications before 'making' them, you should do that portion as a non-priv'd user. Why? Because if something accidently made a typo:
rm -rf /usr
When they meant:
rm -rf . usr
in the Makefile, then you'll sadly be missing a /usr directory now. Whereas with a non-priv'd user it would complain about permissions and error out.

Cool
