| |
I have run across this problem twice. The first time around I fiddled with bzImage, zImage, zlilo, and bzlilo till I was bluein the face. I renamed and renamed, thinking it was possibly a naming problem for some odd reason. Somehow I got it to work, but when it happened again yesterday (freshly installed RH6) I couldn't recall how I had fixed it. I retried all the previous steps, and nothing worked. So I walked to the fridge, got a drink, came back and typed lilo, and it worked.
Im not sure what the problem is, but Ill recompile my kernel in a bit and see if I can duplicate it and find a solution.
