Thank you for your reply, I did another attempt the way you described
it, and as I can see it is getting close. Booting the 2.6.4 kernel gave
kernel panic, but I think the reason is that I had not changed the
.config file from CONFIG_EXT3_FS=m to CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y. Going back to
'make xconfig and make the building from there did not help, so I have
deleted all directories made by the make commands and deleted all files
made during the install in /boot and will try again tonight.
By the way, in your description you tell 'mv arch/i386/boot/bzImage
/boot/bzImage-2.6.4'
In current kernel 2.4.18 grub calls for vmlinuz-2.4.18-14. So if I 'cp
/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.4' And /boot/grub/grub.conf have the
lines:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.4 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.4.img
.........it should be correct, or am I mistaken?? This was what I did,
and the kernel starts to load until I get (taken from memory, as I am
not at the actual box right now) 'error: pivot:: xxxxxxxxxxxxx kernel
panic no init found.' A manual I found for the 2.6.4 kernel
mentioned this problem as a result of CONFIG_EXT3_FS=m in the .config file
