Hello,
How is this possible?
Okay, I copied /usr/src/linux-2.6.11.4-21.7 to /usr/src/linux-2.6.11.4-21.7.custom, ran "make menuconfig" (made my changes here so could use the new ATTO SCSI card) from the *custom directory, saved it, ran "make", then " make modules_install", created all the images and soft links under boot (below), edited lilo.conf and ran "lilo", rebooted, lilo says it is going to boot the new kernel, but instead of seeing my new kernel being loaded it says the default kernel is loaded; uname -r 2.6.11.4-21.7-default. However, that can't be possible because I now have access to my the tape drive attached to the ATTO SCSI card which I never had access to before when booting the other kernels. I have included relevant info below. Any ideas on what happened? I was hoping the kernel would be, 2.6.11.4-21.7-bigsmp.custom.
Maybe you forgot to run mkinitrd ? after make install and before lilo, you should run a command like mkinitrd -k vmlinuz-2.6.11.12-20050624110612-default -i initrd-2.6.11.12-20050624110612-default I normally have to do this when I compile from SuSE's KOTD. -- Osho
