From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.7 [en] (X11; U; SunOS 5.8 sun4u) Description of problem: I have tried to build a new kernel following instructions for RH 7.1 make oldconfig make xconfig (minor changes) make dep make bzImage make modules make modules_install make install on two different machines - A Toshiba Techra 8000 laptop and a desktop with an AMD K6/450 and ASUS P5A-B mother board. The results are the same. After getting into rc.sysinit and displaying the "press I to enter interactive mode", the startup hangs on the "sleep 1" command. If I comment it out, it hangs on the "mount of the proc file system". I have been trying various things on and off for a month. I even upgraded the Tecra to the latest kernel. The one that you guys provided, works... The one I compiled hangs the same way. Ok, what am I doing wrong. I have built kernels before on 5.x.. August Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Build the kernel per Red Hat directions 2. Reboot and choose the new kernel. 3. It will hang at the point is stated.. Expected Results: It should continue booting Additional info:
Ok something is funny here. Would you mind attaching your .config file to this bug so I can have a look at it ?
Created attachment 29434 [details] My last config file from the K6/450
first of all, you made a SMP k6 kernel... I don't think that is what you wanted; nor do I know if it actually works
Ok, I found the problem. When I turned SMP off, I fell into an undefined symbol problem, which I had hit before and caused me to turn it on in the first place. However, I looked it up on bugzilla and discovered bug 45248 which described my problem also. I followed the procedure at the end of it and I can boot up sucessfully. Please change the doc to state that after changing from SMP to UP or visa versa, to save the config, do a make mrproper, then restore the config and then a make oldconfig, etc.. Thanks, Aug *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 45248 ***
