Hi, i have 2.4.29 kernel, but i wanna update to 2.6.12.5 and i downloaded source code from kernel.org, unziped and i went like this

Code:

cd /usr/src

Code:

tar -xzf linux-2.6.12-5.tar.gz

Code:

rm -rf linux

i made then symlink LINUX

Code:

cd linux

Code:

cp /boot/config-ide-2.4.29 /usr/src/linux

Code:

make mrproper

Code:

make menuconfig

i loaded 2.4.29 config and added some functions .. few modules ...
saved as alternate file config-Mr-Sale

Code:

make

Code:

make modules_install

Code:

cp System.map /boot/System.map

Code:

cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6.12-5

Code:

cp config-sale /boot/config-2.6.12-5

Code:

cd /boot/

Code:

lilo

Code:

Added 2.6.12 *

Code:

Added 2.4.29

Code:

reboot

then i get to lilo, and i choose 2.6.12
and i get

Code:

Loading 2.6.12 or something like that .............................................................................

Code:

BIOS DATA CHEK SUCCESFUL (or something like that...)

and then...BLANK black screen nothing else...
i also tried few versions of this, but i installed kernel last time and i tried with MAKE INSTALL and LILO and rebooting and it was the same, could it be cuz i moded my makefile to EXTRAVERSION= .-5-Mr-Sale ???

I would think of a framebuffer problem, try to set vga=normal in lilo.conf
and re-run lilo, then attempt to boot in your 2.6 kernel

you set up the VGA framebuffer within the kernel, didn't you?

Mr-Sale · 08-25-2005, 02:05 PM
