Question : 2.6 Kernel problems (scsi_mod) fails to load
|
|
I'm trying to compile a kernel for CentOS 4.1, and its failing.
Current kernel
# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.9-5.0.3.ELsmp #1 SMP Sat Feb 19 19:38:02 CST 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Want to install linux-2.6.9-11.EL. Compliled everything, installed all the files in /boot
This is the message I'm getting at the bootup::
Uncompressing Linux ... Ok, booting the kernel
audit (1121264021.534:0) : initialized

What I used to compile my kernel :
make gconfig
make
make modules_install
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-11.ELcustom
I didn't get any errors during the complilation, I just had to make my initrd manually.
The .config file form the pervious kernel was used automatically by gconfig, I didn't change anything.
Here are my questions :
1. What am I missing here? Looks like some SCSI modules are not loading, question is "Why" . Did I miss somethign in gconfig, isn't it supposed to be a "working" copy from the previous kernel?
2. When I do lsmod, how can I link the modules in the lsmod in the .config file, meaning how can I ensure that they will be present/properly selected when I run gconfig
3. Any kind of other explanations between lsmod, inslmod, depmod, rmmod, etc when making a kernel are welcome

Have a look at the man page for mkinitrd.
