Hi all,

I've just upgraded to the 2.6.10 kernel according the how-tos at the top of this thread. I had to recompile after the install to get the framebuffer and console text to show up at boot time. Now all that is done when i boot into fluxbox and try to open up rxvt all i see is a quick flash of it opening and then it's gone. Nothing happens at all when i try to open xterm.

Does anyone have any ideas where i should start looking to fix this problem? I'm actually quite happy with the 2.4.26 kernel but want to build LFS 6.0 and it asked for a minimum of 2.6.2 kernel. I used the 2.6.7 kernel from the 2nd cd and then tried to install the nvidia driver which then needed the kernel source code (i think). I thought it best in the end just to get over the fear of kernels and get it sorted. What i didn't expect was for something stupid like eterm not to work.

Thanks for your time and any help you can offer. Thanks for the good guides on kernel stuff as well.

Cheers

Fixs given there for this prob.

O and, they proble recommend 2.6 because some stuff is designed for 2.6 now, but everything should compile fine on a 2.4 kernel.

Thanks alot

Solved! For anyone else with the same problem..

Currently had udev-026-i486-1 installed (i think)

Did a quick upgrade using swaret to udev-042-i486-1 (current)

Eterm and rxvt are now working fine.

Thanks for the help

Thats pretty weird that I clicked this thread, because I had the EXACT same problem yesterday/today. EXACT same problem... Got wifi working though
