 |
|
I keep installing it, and the only steps that does NOT work is
| Code: | mv /boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage.orig
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot
|
Iget an error saying that their is no such file or directory.....I know the first step doesn't apply, but the second doesn't either....
SO I continue the entire install and I get the Error 15 upon reboot
I am very lost, and if someone can help me out I'd appreciate it...
Please do me a favor and EXPLAIN EVERYTHING in steps that you say because I might not understand.... |

When you compiled the kernel, you issued a bunch of make commands. I tend to split them up, so that it's easier to see errors. Something like this: | Code: | $ cd /usr/src/linux
$ make menuconfig
$ make dep
$ make clean
$ make bzImage |
There's also | Code: | $ make modules
# make modules_install |
...but forget about those for now.
When "make bzImage" completes, does it look happy? Are there any messages that look "error-like"? Is there a file named bzImage in the directory /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot? There should be. If it's not there, then there might have been an error when compiling. If after "make bzImage" completes, if there is no bzImage file there, then post the last few lines of the "make bzImage" result.
If the file is there, then the only other thing that could not be found is /boot. Do you have a /boot directory? If yes, then there must be a typo somewhere. Please post the exact command you typed and the exact message you received from the computer.

| Or maybe if /boot is a seperate partition you forgot to mount it? |

While this is indeed an important thing to do, on your first kernel compile, /boot is mounted if you follow the installation guide. Also, failure to mount /boot would not give you "file not found" errors from cp.

The /usr/src/linux symlink in Gentoo 1.2 points to the wrong directory if you've run emerge rsync with a stage 3 tarball installed. If that is the case, execute the following commands to fix your problem:
# cd /usr/src
# ln -sf linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r7 linux
Replace linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r7 with whatever version of the kernel you decided to install. You can find out by doing a simple 'ls' in case you forgot or aren't sure.
Guess this should be fixed in the ebuild. |

I IXED IT...took me about two more installs....I ama assuming that the LACK OF A CAPITAL LETTER was at fault, but even so it is alright
It boots up flawlessly, so I guess now I have to install everything else...
Thanks for the help
P.S. As it turns out, bzImage would NEVER show up in the /boot/bzImage directory
THis time it did
I never got a bzImage error....just an error when Itried to copy something that wasn't there |
