Master Kernel Thread

[Nama_2008]

Hii all!
I want to boot kernel-2.6.14 under ubuntu 7.10 on HP-dv2601.I have configured and successfully complied kernel-2.6.14 but at boot got kernel panic

modprobe: FATAL: could not load /lib/modules.dep " NO such file or directory
mount:unknown filesystem type 'devfs'
FATAL : could not load /lib/modules/2.6.14/modules.dep:No such file or
directory
umount: devfs: not mounted
/scripts/ext3-add-journal.sh:27:arith:syntax error : "0X"
modprobe:FATAL : could not load /lib/modules/2.6.14/modules.dep:No such
file or directory
mount: unknown filesystem type 'devfs'
/sbin/init:426:arith:syntax error : "0X"
kernel panic - not syncing:Attempted to kill init!

I have tried many possible solutions like enable ext2 ext3 fs support, modification in grub menu.lst but still getting same error.Please tell me what is the reson behind this error and how to solve it.It;s urgent.
Thank u in advance.

How do I go back to my old configuration as this is of no use at all apart from a learning process. I have lost sound on my Lenovo 3000 V100 with built in intel sound card and no wifi anymore either. I really would like to go back without reloading Harday again and losing all my changes.

Just select the previous kernel from the grub menu (press ESC to access it during boot, right after your BIOS screen). You can also uninstall the newer kernel:

sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.26* linux-headers-2.6.26*

(replace the names with those from the packages you built or use tab completion). If you need to, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to change the default kernel to boot, remove entries, etc.

Thanks very much appreciated

After compiling 2.6.25 knetwormanager doesn't find any ethernet connection!!!

I just followed the guide, and it works great. Only problem I'm currently having is that the usplash is not displaying at all.

In your /boot/grub/menu.lst, go to near the bottom where there will be a bunch of stanzas that look something like

title		Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic
root		(hd0,2)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=03a507ee-cdac-4bd9-b438-eccd616b66ed ro quiet splash
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic
quiet

Does the kernel command end with the words "quiet splash"? If not, add that.

is update-grub needed?

It shouldn't be.

It shouldn't be.

why aren't they added to your instructions and

does make-kpkg accept the "-j" option? If it does, then dual/quad-core users can benefit from compiling with "-j4". Also, if you have a Core 2-class CPU, use "--revision=CORE2". It can produce quite significant speed gains.
