Re: trouble loading self compiled vanilla kernel

In my experience on openSUSE, the following sequence of commands

the initrd does not get generated (correctly or at all). Although
unlikely to be the problem, it's a simple thing to eliminate from the
list of possible borkages.

Thank you for your advice. It's been a while and I have been some
testing. I can compile and boot these kernels: 2.6.10, 2.6.16.37
and 2.6.17.14. But I have not been able to boot any of these:
2.6.18, 2.6.18.6 nor 2.6.19.1. Guess I will have to read the
changelog for 2.6.18 really careful.
