Hi all, Recently I compiled and tried installing kernel (2.6.39.3), which I downloaded from kernel.org All the activity that I did was to copy the .config file of my distro (Ubuntu 10.10), then the following commands : - make menuconfig ( I exited, keeping the default configuration ) - make modules - make install_modules - make install - update grub All of the above commands got executed without any errors, and the new kernel version was also shown in the grub menu. But it showed some errors and didn't login. When I tried logging to my Ubuntu distro, a blue login box(which is normally violet in color) appeared. After giving password, it came back again to the same screen without going inside. Only thing I was able to do was to dropping in root mode (from Ubuntu's recovery mode u\in the grub menu) and looking at all of my data through terminal without a GUI. Can anyone tell how can I recover my compiled kernel and distro's kernel? Thankyou. -- ~Cheers!!
