Hi to all,
I'm trying to compile the kernel 2.6 for a file server, but before I'm trying 
it on my laptop (compaq nx9010), but I've got some problems.
In fact, after the reboot it doesn't appear any message on the screen, and the 
disk seem freezed (i.e., the system does not load). I've followed the faq on 
such problem but I haven't solved it yet. My .config file should be ok:

luca@linux:/usr/src/linux> grep CONFIG_V .config
CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q=m
CONFIG_VORTEX=m
CONFIG_VIA_RHINE=m
# CONFIG_VIA_RHINE_MMIO is not set
CONFIG_VT=y
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y
# CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV is not set
CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=y
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_VFAT_FS=m
CONFIG_VXFS_FS=m

and I've got the modutils required

fluca:~ # /usr/local/sbin/depmod --version
module-init-tools 0.9.13

I'm going crazy, why I cannot compile the new kernel?
