Hi
I am trying to built kernel 2.6.38 with the following options

CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y
CONFIG_KGDB=y
CONFIG_KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_KGDB_KDB=y
CONFIG_KDB_KEYBOARD=y

compilation succeds but when I try to

install the kernel I get the following error


sh /home/ashu/kernel/linux/linux-2.6.38/arch/x86/boot/install.sh 2.6.38 arch/x86/boot/bzImage \
System.map "/boot"

and on booting I get error as boot failed .

When going in boot directory I am able to see vmlinuz ,system.map and initramfs installed .What might be the problem

How did you create the .config and what distro are you using ?

I created the .config file through defconfig
Then I opened .config file and
enabled following
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y
CONFIG_KGDB=y
CONFIG_KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_KGDB_KDB=y
CONFIG_KDB_KEYBOARD=y

And I am using fedora 14 on which I am trying to built kernel 2.6.38

one more thing I am using a virtual machine vmware and this virtual machine is running on windows os.

Did you do make modules_install ?

yes

absolutely

Not sure but seems like compilations of these modules has been missed. May be you can check your .config and see if these are enabled.
