| |
Greetings!
I tried to create a custom kernel with an added system call, so the goal was to have 2 kernels to choose from at boot time.
In /usr/src/linux-2.4.28-gentoo-r5, I edited the Makefile so that "EXTRAVERSION = -gentoo-r5-new", and recompiled my custom kernel with the following commands:
make mrproper make menuconfig make dep make bzImage make modules make modules-install make install
Now I have 2 kernels, and when I boot from the original, I get the following error at boot:
Bringing eth0 up via DHCP... [!!] ERROR: Problem starting needed services. "netmount" was not started.
The original kernel I compiled with genkernel. The new kernel used the method described above. Here is my grub.conf:
default 0 timeout 30 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.4.28-r5 root (hd0,0) kernel /kernel-2.4.28-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda3 initrd /initrd-2.4.28-gentoo-r5
title=Gentoo Linux 2.4.28-r5-new root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.28-gentoo-r5-new root=/dev/hda3
So, did I trash my original kernel? Was the method I used to compile a custom kernel incorrect?
Thank you for your help.
Jensen
