Unable to boot kernel after compiling source for 2.6.17-1.2157

Unable to boot kernel after compiling source for 2.6.17-1.2157

[Zeidler, Mike]

After building the kernel  and copying the arch/i386/boot/bzImage to
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-1.2157_FC5smp 
and doing a make modules_install 
and doing a mkinitrd
And modifying grub.conf to have the following lines

default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora Core (2.6.17-1.2157_FC5smp)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.17-1.2157_FC5smp ro
root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
        initrd /initrd-2.6.17-1.2157_FC5smp.img

I am still getting the following errors:


Insmod : error inserting '/lib/scsi_mod.ko' : -1 Operation not Permitted
Insmod : error inserting '/lib/sd_mod.ko' : -1 Operation not Permitted
Insmod : error inserting '/lib/libata.ko' : -1 Operation not Permitted

Any advice?

Try to use new-kernel-pkg instead of mkinitrd
sudo /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --make-default --mkinitrd --depmod
--kernel-args="crashkernel=64M@16M" --install $VER

You can also use

it's even easier: just do a "make install" 

it looks like the original bug is an selinux case (since nothing else
should prevent modules from loading ;).. could be a bad initrd could be
something else.

Thanks, doing the "make install" as root did the trick. Machine boots
like a charm.
