Hi all,
Thank you all very much for suggesting possible causes and fixes to my problem. As it turns out all I had to do was change /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt script so that halt would be called with "-p" option.
I have read through Changes file and it turns out that there are very few things that need to be upgraded on a RedHat 5.1 system in order to succesfully run kernel 2.2.0. As the matter of fact I haven't upgraded any of them and compiled my kernel with egcs with "-mcpu=pentiumpro" and everything works like a charm anyway. With 2.0.36 I was getting a LOT of warnings when I compiled with "-mcpu=pentiumpro". It still worked though.
I also did the following: 1) cd arch 2) cp -R i386 i686 3) cd i686 4) edited Makefile to change every occurence of i386 to i686 except fo rhte first one (LD=$(CROSS_COMPILE)ld -m elf_i386) 5) edited ifdef CONFIG_M686 so that -m486 changed to -mcpu=pentiumpro 6) finally I edited the top level Makefile so that ARCH is set to i686
It seems to work fine. Anyway, why shouldn't I take advantage of having a more advanced CPU?
Thanks again for everyone's help.
cheers, tomek
