To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Greetings! I tried to create a custom kernel with an added system call, so the goal was to have 2 kernels to choose from at boot time. In /usr/src/linux-2.4.28-gentoo-r5, I edited the Makefile so that "EXTRAVERSION = -gentoo-r5-new", and recompiled my custom kernel with the following commands: make mrproper make menuconfig make dep make bzImage make modules make modules-install make install Now I have 2 kernels, and when I boot from the original, I get the following error at boot: Bringing eth0 up via DHCP... [!!] ERROR: Problem starting needed services. "netmount" was not started. The original kernel I compiled with genkernel. The new kernel used the method described above. Here is my grub.conf: default 0 timeout 30 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title=Gentoo Linux 2.4.28-r5 root (hd0,0) kernel /kernel-2.4.28-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda3 initrd /initrd-2.4.28-gentoo-r5 title=Gentoo Linux 2.4.28-r5-new root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.28-gentoo-r5-new root=/dev/hda3 So, did I trash my original kernel? Was the method I used to compile a custom kernel incorrect? Thank you for your help. Jensen __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - You care about security.
