My latest kernel custom attempted ended, yet again, in failure.
Bummer. Here's a step-by-step of what I did and what I (didn't) manage
to accomplish.
all steps as root
cd /usr/src/linux-2.4
make mrproper (returns lots of STDOUT)
make xconfig
(make changes)
Save and Exit
make dep
make clean
vi Makefile
change EXTRAVERSION to -3custom-greg
save and exit
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.18-3custom-greg.img 2.4.18-3
ORIGINAL (working) lilo.conf
prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
linear
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-3
label=2.4.18-3
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-3.img
read-only
root=/dev/hda3
NEW lilo.conf
prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
linear
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-3custom-greg
label=2.4.18-3c
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-3custom-greg.img
read-only
root=/dev/hda3
cp /usr/src/linux-2.4/arch/i386/boot/bzImage
/boot/vmlinux-2.4.18-3custom-greg
lilo
returns error:
Added 2.4.18-3c
Fatal: No images have been defined.
upon reboot of machine
uname -a
Linux paloverde 2.4.18-3 #1 Thu Apr 18 07:32:41 EDT 2002 i686 unknown
bummer. No new kernel. Any ideas on where I went wrong?
