Subject: [gentoo-user] OT - Having a problem booting a vanilla kernel
Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2007 20:43:45 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1170125025.14196.9.camel@camille.espersunited.com> (raw)
I wanted to try installing my Win4Lin 9x 5.0 software, so I unzipped my
vanilla kernel source (2.6.11.12 - the newest patch they have for SMP
kernels) into /usr/src and changed the symlink. I applied the Win4Lin
patches. I wanted the config of my currently running kernel, so I said
"make oldconfig" (make oldconfig does do that, right?) I didn't turn on
the Win4Lin support yet because I wanted to see if I could get the old
kernel to work without it first. I set up the kernel in
my /boot/grub/grub.conf file, just like my other kernels. Pretty
routine. When I tried to boot with 2.6.11.12, I got this:

Here's my grub.conf:

I checked against /boot and all the file names are correct. I booted
with the top kernel, so I know those settings are correct, with the only
changes in the filenames. What am I missing here?
