Guest Adriano Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 I have been trying to 2.6ify my machine... I tried the RPM from Cooker, and then the 2.6.1 sources (with the -mm4 patch). In every case the result is the same: the machine hangs at boot. In the RPM case (2.6.0) it says "Kernel Panic: tried to kill init") after some other errors (I can't print them, to transcribe them I'd have to write them by hand...). Using the sources, the machine hangs almost immediately _after_ LILO... I cannot see much about the error. The compile was clean. Any help or pointers?

I fixed mine by increasing the size of my initial RAM drive... I'm not sure about your problem though, but maybe it gets you going in the right direction... Some distros have specific settings that HAVE TO be compiled into the kernel, these are usually to do with ram drives. I'm not sure what mandrake's is, I've only ever compiled one kernel for Mandy and it didn't turn out to well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 last mm i could get to work was mm3. I tried mm4 and mm5 and get the exact same result. In, fact sometimes the screen just goes black. B4 i made a big ooops and lost my ML-10-cooker install, I settled for 2.6.1 without mm. Now I'm mandrakeless, sorta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Adriano Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 I'll try to compile it without the -mm4 patch then. Still doesn't explain the rpm not functioning, but it's a start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
