The defaults, as in you didn't even plug in your config file first? That'll probably end up with a kernel that won't work on your box. :) > Everything compiles nicely, but when I choose "262" on the laptop it > reboots right away. What CPU type are you selecting? I generally see that behaviour when you are selecting a CPU type that has optimizations that your current CPU doesn't support. (IE, a 686 kernel on a 486 or Pentium Classic). I'd highly recommend just starting from 'make config' or 'make menuconfig', and go through every option and make sure it's set right. I know it takes awhile, but that way you'll (hopefully) get a working kernel the first time. :) -- Nate Carlson <natecars at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500 _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
