 Compiling new Kernel
For fun I'm trying to compile my first Linux kernel from scratch. Everything went well but when I try to boot into it through LILO, it unpacks the kernel but fails some system checks. It then stalls on the "starting system logger" So I must have done something wrong. Here's the steps I took:
in /usr/src/linux
make mrproper
make menuconfig (I didn't change any kernel parameters)
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot
make install
This then made a vmlinuz image in /boot.
I then altered my lilo.conf accordingly to use the new vmlinuz image.
What did I do wrong? In one of my books it mentiones to use mkinitrd, but I thought you needed an initrd image file only for SCSI which I don't have.

2 steps I think I might have needed:
cp /usr/src/linux-2.4.18/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18
cp /usr/src/linux-2.4.18/System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.18
I'll try this out later on. Any thoughts are welcome.
