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?
I think you should rather ask this question on ubuntu mailing list. it hardly seems a kernel issue. its mostly an X related problem.
secondly, try to look into log messages e.g. dmesg and /var/log/message(not sure about the location on ubuntu though)
thirdly, its possible that .config is incorrect.
with this info, one can hardly tell what is going on.
