AFAIK it must have also printed "Loading" or "Uncompresing" (First loading, then uncompresing). > > Did you do "make modules" and "make modules_install"?

However, IIRC they made it to "Now booting the kernel" or at least always finished uncompresing. If it does not finish loading, then it's probably broken lilo map file which could be corected by running lilo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jan 'Bulb' Hudec <bulb@ucw.cz> -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
