I had to to add SIP support to my kernel 2.6.13-15 on my SUSE 10 box for my VOIP phone.I have attempted to add this new kernel to grub loader. When I try and boot with this new kernel I get these errrors:


Error is
13 : Invalid or unsupported executable format

and

file not found

here is my /boot/grub/menu.lst

Why is it that they use a symbolic link to the kernel?
I have made a symbolic link to the new sip kernel but that makes no difference! I have changed the paths and etc.....
What am I doing wrong? Help!

Never mind I figured it out. It was an ID10T error. I was trying to load the wrong file whichh wasnt the kernel.

could you please post the solution, if someone else has the same problem it could be useful
nothing in the computer world can make us look id1ots.. it's just the programer's fault(it's always and we gotta live with)

of course,

My whole reason for recompling my kernel was to add additional SIP support for my new VOIP phone.

1st - I downloaded the sources from kernel.org to /usr/src/linuxXXX

2nd - I downloaded and complied the SIP support (netfilter.com) for my kernel.

3rd - ran menuconfig and configured what I wanted into my new kernel

4th - (make in the kernel) performed standard make dep(while in /usr/src/linuxXX.XX),make bzImage, make modules && make modules_install

5th - cp usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage to /boot partition.

6th - created ramdisk image for kernel. mkinitrd.

7th - modified my boot/grub/menu.lst. This line was added under my default kernel:

###############SIP KERNEL 2.6##############################

Title 2.6 SIP Kernel

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.13-15-SIP root=/dev/system/root
initrd /initrd-2.6.13-15-SIP

8 - I cryed tears of joy that I finally did something right.

******* Key Point**************

- Always keep your original kernel as a backup option just in case you newly compiled kernel does not work. This was my first kernel compile and I feel pretty damn good - Good luck.
