| I have installed Red Hat Linux 7.2 on a computer at home but I have some problems with the Kernal I compiled.
Could you tell me if this is completly wrong:
startx
make xconfig
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
When I try to boot the new Kernel I only get to the "Welcome to Red Hat Linux" message then nothing happends. I tried to press CTRL+C and got the message:
INIT: entering runlevel: 3
/etc/rc.d/rc: /var/run/runlevel.dir: Read-only file system
Updating /etc/fstab
then nothing more happend. Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong? | |

| Sounds like you do not have X setup correctly. Try to rerun XF86Setup and see if you get a working X server. | |

| X works fine, the problem is that I can't boot the new Kernel. | |

| Did you make a backup of your previous kernel? You could have altered something that made it unbootable. | |
| The Swede 2001-12-12, 9:27 am |
| Yes, I did and appearantly it is quite unbootable. Would be nice to knew where I f*cked up though. | |

| post your lilo.conf .. you can use a boot disk, like with Trinux on it or something, to read it ..
