Has anyone experienced any problems with the 2.4.13 kernel? I will list out the steps I took today and explain what went wrong. 1. Untarred a 2.4.9 kernel source I had here to start with. 2. placed all the patches: 2.4.10, 11, 12 and 13 into /usr/src directory. 3. Ran linux/scripts/patch-kernel; so far, so good - all patches took. 4. Had latest version of speakup 1.00 ready to go in its appropriate directory under /usr/src and ran ./install from inside there - went fine. 5. Did a "make oldconfig" with the .config file I previously used for a successful 2.4.12 compile. 6. I did get prompted for speech related info again; thought that info would have stuck from previous configuration <HMMM>. 7. Did the usual make bzImage and make modules followed by modules_install - no errors. 8. Placed the vmlinuz file and System.map in the usual places and ran lilo. OK. 9. Rebooted the machine, got a lilo prompt like normal but when I chose this kernel image, it hanged! I had to power down and restart to continue. I never could get 2.4.13 to talk or do anything else. I fell back to 2.4.12 kernel images I had on a floppy (Thank God) and my machine is running fine. Sorry for such a long winded thing here but am wondering why a simple upgrade from 2.4.12 to 2.4.13 would cause such a problem? I also noticed that System.map grew from 400K to over 600K and thus will no longer fit on a floppy with the 900K + kernel. Thought that a bit odd too. Any ideas out there?
