I've tried 2.4.10 and 2.4.13, and both of them compile perfectly (no errors) but when I insert them into LILO and reboot I get the following: LILO: Linux Loading Linux........ and the computer freezes at this point, every time. I've tried compiling it for PIII/Celeron Coppermine (which is the correct one for me I think) and 386. I've compiled the kernel under Debian GNU/Linux 2.2r3 (kernel 2.2.19) with GCC 2.91.66. My computer's basic hardware specs are: CPU = Celeron 566 RAM = 256MB PC100 SDRAM M/B = Gigabyte GA6VXE7+ IDE = hda = primary hard disk (windows and MBR here) hdb = cd-rw hdc = secondry hard disk (linux root & swap partitions live here) hdd = cd-rom I've been tearing my hair out over this for about a fortnight now. I'd provide more debugging info, but the computer doesn't give any because it freezes so early. I am probably just forgetting to do something important, as this is the first time I've ever tried to compile my own kernel. Any pointers or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. >>From Daniel
