booting the 2.4.1 linux kernel... tada,nada

[Lindsey Simon]

[1.] Once I get the loading the kernel message from Lilo I hard crash without any error
messages.
[2.] I had no trouble making the bzImage and have installed it made it and installed it
three different times from scratch, once using debian's make-kpkg tool, but still I get
the same outcome - a hard crash with no error messages. I get the Loading
Linux.2.4.1........... ok,now booting the kernel and then BANG, I go dead with no error
message of any kind.
[3.] kernel

I upgraded all the packages mentioned in the Changes file and have run out of ideas for
what to try next.. I upgraded lilo thinking that might fix things, but that changed
nothing. Thanks for any help.

Could you double check that you've set the correct cpu type?

hi,

a couple of things to check here.
a) when compiling the kernel, did you remember to select the proper CPU in
the kernel config?
b) if you are using (for example) an ATI Rage 128 you need to go into
character devices and say Y to DRI X and ATI Rage 128.
(I found that the latter idea fixed the same problem on my machine.)

I'm a newbie, 12, so hope this helps!
