Iam using Redhat linux 2.4.18-14(which came with installing RHlinux-8.0. Now I want to reconfigure the kernel.
I have download the linux 2.4.18 from ftp:kernel.org
Ihave put the file in /home/cs0205/ There itself I unzipped the file. Then I saw a new directory /home/cs0205/linux then cd /home/cs0205/linux make mrproper make xconfig During the configuration I havn't made any changes to the default configuration.I have just saved the default configuration and exited. make dep make clean make bzImage make modules make modules_install make install After this I observed that there are new files in /boot like vmlinuz-2.4.18 and vmlinuz-2.4.18.img Before there were files named vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 and vmlinuz-2.4.18-14.img
I have then changed my /etc/lilo.conf file as follows prompt timeout=50 default=linux_new boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b message=/boot/message linear
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 label=linux initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-14.img read-only append="hdb=ide-scsi root=LABEL=/" image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18 label=linux_new initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18.img read-only append="hdb=ide-scsi root=LABEL=/"
other=/dev/hda1 optional label=DOS
I have run /sbin/lilo when I tried booting with the new kernel image, its stopping after giving the message, kernel panic:I have no root I want to scream
please help me!!!!!!!!!
Dear friends, Iam new to linux. I don't know why we should do make mrproper,dep clean bzImage,etc. What is the result of this make? will u please suggest any resources on net? or any text book? I have read somewhere saying that we have to copy the bzImage in linux/arch/boot/ to /boot/ I have also seen something regarding System.map!
What does this System.map and bzImage contain? Do I really have to copy them? Then what is the use of make install? please answer to my queries!!!!!! Thankyou! for reading the mail patiently!
