Did you make modules and make modules_install after doing the make bzImage?

it didn't panic it booted, but i broke network support and got a lot of errors during boot
also, i have to change the path in menu.lst from /boot/bzImage (as in your tutorial) to just /bzImage, i dunno why. /boot/bzImage just gave me a file not found error. where can i find a log of all the boot errors?

Where is your bzImage file though? It should be under /boot/bzImage. If its under / its in the wrong place.

Mpemba Effect · 28 Oct 2002 at 14:00

Yeah I think you must have missed out the make modules bit

... I normally build everything into the kernel rather than using modules.

Mpemba Effect · 28 Oct 2002 at 14:02

I think he has to have the bzImage in the correct place, otherwise I think he would have fell over at grub

Baloo · 28 Oct 2002 at 14:04

Oh no not Grub

In that case its ok

Lucifer · 28 Oct 2002 at 14:18

yea, bzImage is at /boot/bzImage

i don't think i used any modules

i followed shak's instructions here

Yeah but the kernel is complaining that it can't find the /lib/modules/2.4.19/modules.dep file which is created with a

Code:

make modules
make modules_install

Shak · 28 Oct 2002 at 16:21

Even if you dont use any modules I believe its essential to run the make modules and make modules_install stages, this creates a document that tells the kernel exactly what it needs to look for in the modules.

Mpemba Effect · 28 Oct 2002 at 16:59

Actually that particular boot error "can't find the /lib/modules/2.4.19/modules.dep" will come up if you don't have any modules. Even if you did the make modules bit. If theres no modules it will give the message "nothing to do" and the modules.dep will not be created. If you have an GF card, when you install the nvidia drivers for it, that particular error will go away since nvidia drivers are a module and the module.dep file will be created. If you do not plan on using any modules then remove modules support in the kernel to get rid of that error. I'm not sure about the other errors though.

edit: na, you don't need to use the make modules bit if you don't use any modules

Shak · 28 Oct 2002 at 17:03

I dont use any modules and I've solved that problem by re-doing me make modules and make_modules install and it fixed it, guess I must have been lucky

Baloo · 28 Oct 2002 at 17:05

make modules will just produce an empty file if I remember correctly. The kernel will complain if it cannot find the file, not if it doesn't have any modules in it.

I knew I was right

Its excellant. The theme I'm using at the moment doesn't quite work properly. (when adding a story, I put the extended text in the extended box but when clicking on the story the extended text isn't displayed.) I'm trying to learn a bit of php to figure out whats wrong but I'm alittle stuck.

Mai me if you need mate, I'm always available to help with it
