Is it possible for you to add some more lines which are printed above the lines you have mentioned (Kernel Panic). There can be various reasons for such a panic which can be explained by reading a couple (or probably more) lines above the panic line. As for the steps in compiling the kernel, they look fine to me. It is possible that while performing the config selection (make menuconfig) you have missed out some necessary driver from kernel as well as Module. -- Shreyansh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
