Hello, I configured and compiled a static kernel (module support = N). I also changed the lilo append line to read append="nomodules root=/dev/hda5" and ran /sbin/lilo During boot, it gets to the point: Mounting filesystems [OK] Enabling swap [OK] and then panics with the message: modprobe: can't open dependencies file /lib/modules-mykernel....... Now, my kernel is static and it not should have tried to read the /lib/mymodules.. in the first place. Can a modular kernel (default) and a static kernel co-exist? Is there any workaround to prevent my static kernel from trying to read module information? I congifured the static kernel as: Changed the line in Makefile TOPDIR to point to my kernel source. make mrproper make config make dep make bzImage cp /home/tony/mykernel/System.map /boot/System.map-temp ln -fs vmlinuz-temp vmlinuz ln -fs System.map-temp System.map Any pointers ???
