2.6.9 kernel resets box!

2.6.9 kernel resets box!

[gl34]

Hello everyone,

I compiled and installed a 2.6.9 kernel no problem. When the lilo boot window 
opens it gives me a choice of 2.4.28 kernel and the new 2.6.9 kernel. 2.4.28 
works no problem. But when I try to start the 2.6.9 I get "Loading....." then 
the box resets. /sbin/lilo gives no error. Everything in /etc/lilo.conf points 
to the right places. I think it's a config problem. As a general rule what 
should I be looking for?

Hope you can help.

Try to boot with the 2.6.9 kernel !

after the resets boot from an emergency cd and then mount your partition 
to have an access to your log .
then check in the log file for infos .

Did you rebuild also your initrd file and System.map file ?

Huh?

See below. I've already said I can boot with the other kernel.

Don't know about initrd but a new System.map file is generated automagically.

Anyway, 2.6.9 now boots. See thread: once more w/feeling. But now modules 
won't load 8-\
