[opensuse-factory] M3 Question about kernels
Hey Group; For years I have always taken openSuSE basic kernel and compiled it with my CPU. So, a i586 is converted to a i686 and NV.run to work. That seems to often help speed things up and no crashes. Anyway, I simple copy /proc/.config and move it to kernel source .config (after gunzip) - I then run make menuconfig -> save it and then "make, make modules, make modules_install" After it is complete mv System.map and arch/x86/boot/bzImage and mkinitrd plus edit /boot/grub/menu.lst. Reboot and it has always worked correctly before. However, now days it boots up to the part where VGA is selected before any HDs are mounted and locks up/dies What is new to prevent VGA=0x346 to fail. It is openSuSE's kernel 2.6.33-5 with the only change is the CPU and a custom default name (so as not to ruin openSuSE's -5-default -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb@comcast.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb@arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
Could it be the kernel panic?: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=582222 Erase the VGA= from boot params so you get text mode, then see what it says. -johnm On 03/05/2010 01:05 PM, Donn Washburn wrote:

Mine just dead stops. No error message just a black screen. Checking /var/log offers nothing. I did try removing VGA= and it does come up with characters about 1 inch high. I might try VGA=ask and see what it offers. On 03/05/2010 04:17 PM, s2_johnm wrote:

You can simply run "make cloneconfig" instead.
Do "make install" instead, after the modules install. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
