I know this isn't the linux kernel list, but I tried building 2.6.39.2 with the instructions you have on your web site and everything went fine, but it won't boot. I successfully installed the latest Nvidia drivers as well, but when I select the item on Grub all I get is a black screen with a blinking cursor in the top left corner. It's as if some drivers are not being loaded to finish the boot process. Are there any settings that I should use when doing make menuconfig to give me the same settings that are found in the downloadable binary version? I've never had a problem running those pre-built kernels. thanks, Steve sginn@xxxxxxx On Jun 24, 2011, at 7:16 PM, Sarah Sharp wrote: > If it's still not working, run this command: > > tail -f /var/log/kern.log | tee /tmp/log.txt > > Plug in your device, and send me the file /tmp/log.txt. > > Sarah Sharp > > On Fri, Jun 24, 2011 at 04:37:35PM -0500, M.
