Hi! Could you help my please? I have a Red Hat 8.0 with my custom kernel compiled successfully. Kernel source installed from the RedHat install CD then: make config /* The "Set version information on all module symbols" is not checked because the kernel can not be compiled with it */ make dep && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install && make install (as the documentation mentioned, Red Hat Linux 8.0 customization guide, page 257-261) I am using GURB, the config file: # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,1) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda4 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hda default=0 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14custom) root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14custom ro root=LABEL=/ initrd /initrd-2.4.18-14custom.img title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14) root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/ initrd /initrd-2.4.18-14.img title Windows 2000 rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 title Floppy rootnoverify (fd0,0) chainloader +1 If I choose my custom kernel it is starting to load. BUT the kernel loads the modules form the "/lib/modules/2.4.18-14" directory instead of"/lib/modules/2.4.18-14custom" dir. The "uname -a" command shows the info: Linux custom 2.4.18-14 #10 Wed Sep 4 13:35:50 EDT 2002 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux It seems the loaded kernel is the 2.4.18-14 (factory default), BUT "#10" shows it is the 10th compilation (I compiled the custom kernel 10 times). So which kernel was loaded? I can not load my custom modules (ntfs.o), the error message: modprobe: Can't locate module ntfs But the module exist in the "/lib/modules/2.4.18-14custom/kernel/fs/ntfs" directory. What is wrong? Is it something problem (bug) with the make install? I heard this is still problem in 9.0 but it was good in 7.2. TIA, Laszlo. PS.: I need to compile the kernel, because I want to read ntfs from Linux, and the driver is not compiled by Red Hat default... -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
