TubbyTommy,
Ubunto uses Debian Sid (testing) i think. I compiled the kernel with Debian Woddy (stable).
The version of gcc Sid uses is a newer one.

How do you (or did you) error check your kernel when you were building it?


I dont check it

I'm presuming you had some build errors or non-working kernel

No, i downloaded the source, patch it , compiled it and it works.

By the way: An unpachted 2.4.21 kernel will work too.

Oh, and I wasn't sure if I should post to the DSL forum or the berlios one - hope I made the right choice!


I try to answer on both forums.  As long as the people of the DSL-Forum would allow it.

Thanks for your reply.

That's very bizarre in that case. My 8363 will boot very happily from your distro - but every kernel I compile hangs at exactly the same point in the early boot process.

Yet, if I copy my newely compiled kernel to my /boot/ and add them to my grub boot list, I can happily load the kernel on my Unbuntu box.

I wonder how I can find what is going wrong. Can you give me an exact version of gcc from your development machine, please [ gcc - v]?

Thanks,

TT.

8363,

It would seem that your tar.gz file is corrupt. I downloaded it and used KDE to untar it and it errored out. I also did it from the command line using the info on your site, and got an error also. Something about a really old time stamp. It does produce the folder though, I'm just not sure wether the contents are going to be corrupt or not. Any ideas? BTW, I did this using Kubuntu. Last time I used DSL.

Yes, my version is much newer: gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian
1:3.3.5-8ubuntu2)

My kernel vmlinux seems to compile at a weighty 2.6Mb - is this image too large to boot on the N2200? Do you know if the kernel needs to be under a certain size?

Cheers!

TT.
