I am running ReHat Linux 7.1 with the Linux kernel-2.4.2. Am attempting to compile a new kernel RPM'd the kernal souce files from the RedHat CDROM to /usr/src/kernel-2.4.2 I used the "Kernel How-To Ver4.4 to compile the kernel which ia at: /usr/src/lermel-2.4.2/arch/i386/boot/bzImage I moved this to /boot as bzImage.myker Modified Lilo.conf to accept bzImage.myker as an alternate boot Booted and failed (repeatedly) at about the Interactive query????? During much headscratching I saw that bzImage.myker was not an executable file (*) but the original kernel of /boot/vmlinux-2.4.2 was executable???. Why is the bzImage.myker not an executable or does it have to be?????? Thanks, Ron -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
