I have an information that can help to understand the problem.
this problem begin after the compilation of kernel..This is the story:
-I create a directory on my home/me/linux-kernel
which contain the code source of kernel "2.6.27.7" so I do this
Code:
make
make install
make install????...u should never run make install from kernel sources?..if u need guidance in compiling u can ask!.
btw...u are getting errors probably because u dont have ur modules installed!!..
I am curious about one thing, did your problem comes up when you recompiled the kernel and rebooted? If yes, then the new kernel may have some problem.
Try falling back to the old kernel and try once again.
While compiling in slackware, make install usually installs the lilo on mbr, if this is not what you want, you should do
make && make modules_install
Then manually copy the arch/x86/boot/bzImage to the /boot and rename it to the kernel whatever you wish.
Usually we compile the kernel in /usr/src/<version> and symbolic it to the /usr/src/linux folder.
It seems you may have some inconsistency while installing and using the new kernel.
Refer the guide HERE. It may help resolve your problem.
