I was trying to install a custom kernel in RH7.2. I downloaded kernel
3.4.27 from kernel.org , compiled it made 'make bzImage' , then made the
appropriate changes to GRUB to boot it (just added a new line to
grub.onf , with '/usr/src/linux2.4.27/boot/bzImage' in place of default
vmlinuz. It booted OK.Then I added an integer array to stuct inode and
struct ext2_inode(my fs is ext2) , again compiled it and tried to boot
it.(The compilations were done in the default kernel and certainly not
the new one).But now the kernel just does not boot.(compilation was
OK).On selecting the new kernel from grub ,the system just reboots.Is
this behaviour very expected? How can I remedy the situation?PLease
help.Thanks in advance.
