2.6.19-rc5 that I can remember.
I've just discovered the problem (at 1 am of course).
I'm using Linux with my own custom kernel running on a quad Mac Pro (no
Parallels, no Bootcamp, no Windows, no OS X etc, and hence no partition
restrictions.....:-). Since this is an Intel Mac, running grub used to
be a bit tricky owing to the A20 line problem, so I've been using lilo
instead.
After building the kernel, I dutifully typed the following, as any good
lilo believing kernel builder should:
lilo
This ended up placing the boot block on the root partition. I had
previously told the Mac EFI boot loader to look for it on the MBR of my
first SATA drive, which in this case is a very different location. What
I should have used was:
lilo -b /dev/sda
It was booting the old kernel of course, which was the same version
release as the rebuilt one.
(....slapping forehead.....)
All is working just as expected now.....:-)
Many Thanks for your comments........
