Re: [PLUG] new kernel bombs
|
You busted it! :)
Are you using lilo? Did you run it at the end?
Do you _really_need_ a init_rd? If so, did you modify lilo to point to
both the new kernel and new init_rd image? (If you have a separate
kernel modules tree, such as a different version, for your previous
kernel, then yes, you can put entries for both in the boot loader and
just boot the previous kernel when the new one fails. Highly
recommended.)
How about the patching process, did you have any rejects?
