Awesome...Linux is the greatest.

well I did every step up til after u configer xf86 and then startx and then it "should" work

but I restarted my computer and when it goes to login screen it still says linux 2.4.22


im not sure it could be because I installed everything in X to begin with ill do it tommorow in just console....I retried it 6 times


any input I dont want to do it again

I get Welcome to linux 2.4.22 (tty1)


please help

Um. First of all have you compiled your kernel before? It seems you have had a problem installing your kernel. Also what error does X give you? And did you save a copy of your old xf86config file? If so try using the old one.

well I got help on installing it proper but now when my computer it hangs on

ACPIA: IRQ9 SCI: Level Trigger
or
spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7


I did this to install it


Did you install the 2.6.5 kernel? The guide at http://h00045ad2a5c0.ne.client2.att...ydolan/igp.html mentions the make menuconfig, but it doesn't mention any other part of the installation. Once you've saved and exited the config, type make && make modules_install. Once all that stuff is finished, type cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6.x then cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.6.x and THEN cp .config /boot/config-2.6.x (replace all the x's with whatever the last digit of the kernel is - in this case, it would be 5).

Then you need to edit your boot loader config file (in my case, /etc/lilo.conf) and (if it's LILO) change the line that says image=/boot/vmlinuz* to image=/boot/kernel-2.6.x. Save and exit the config file. Then you need to update the boot loader itself with a /sbin/lilo. Then you can restart and you'll hopefully find yourself booting into a 2.6.x kernel!

Sorry, but I have no idea how to edit the GRUB boot loader, as I never use it . If YOU use GRUB, just ask and somebody else can probably tell you.

*Can't remember what the default kernel is called, but vmlinuz sounds right, but it might be called something else.

Hope that helps!



please help me I need to use my laptop tommorow

Hmm...It looks like you are having more kernel problems....does it hang up when you are booting? Did you save a copy of your old kernel? If you did you could just put your old kernel back as well as put your old X config back and it _should_ work. You might need to play around with compiling your kernel some more before you try this.
