Re: after new kernel-build booting stops

Hi all,

i have an old Motorola PowerStack II (with 300 MHz PPC 604, 256 MB RAM)
and installed (with some tricks) a debian 4.0 R1 (Etch) on this maschine.
This is a PPC PReP achitecture.
It boots from the original boot-kernel into text-based multi-user console.

Now i want to create a new kernel, after compiling and linking (with tool
mkvmlinuz version 32) i get a file "mykernel" without any errors.

But after installing the vmlinuz-file into partition /dev/sda1 (PReP boot)
i get only this messages at boot time (recorded via RS232 console)

you didn't just copy the kernel did you ? you also need to install
/boot and /lib/modules, and new initrd.

did you use debian kernel package to make a .deb or did you build
linus
style ?

Uncompressing Linux...done.
Now booting the kernel

after this, no more output occurs, no hdd activity, no keys are accepted.

now my question : what's wrong ?

maybe you made an error in configuring your kernel.

what did you change ? what config tool did you use ? (makeconfig or
what)



Thanks
Dieter

if nessesary, i can give the output of compiling/linking process.
