Hi,
I am trying to install the new kernel 2.5.70, from kernel.org
I compiled the kernel and the modules and installed it using make install. I installed the modules too using make modules_install.
However after making the necessary changes to lilo and rebooting, I could not boot into the new kernel. The comp says "Uncompressing Linux..... ok" and hangs. No messages further. no error message... nothing.
I tried it with initrd (and necessary changes to lilo.conf) using mkinitrd but even that does not work.
Where am I going wrong? What modules will be required in the initrd files? I used only ext2 and ext3.

Were there any specific settings that you made for your hardware? Or did you just use the default config without any changes? If the former, please tell us more about the config you did. You might wanna post your <kernel-src>/.config file here. If the latter, you probably forgot to make settings for IDE/SCSI or maybe made the ext3 support into a module.
Sameer.
