I followed the directions using the "newbie" url http://kernelnewbies.org/faq/index.php3#compile.xml after several shots at it (more or less refining the type of configuration), I was successful at creating a bzImage file.....loaded it......etc. After rebooting the pc, I can't seem to get back to the login page. It's a black screen. I'm sure I have to check the graphics configuration. Question: How do I get back to some sort of prompt, so I can recompile the kernel again? thank you, Lamar
