New kernel won't install

**dan@george** · 11-18-2005

Hi there. I just configured a new kernel for my Slackware box and built it. It's a 2.6.14.2 kernel, and I've been using a 2.6.9 and had a 2.4.26 sitting around. However,

Code:

$ make install
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/linux/compile.h
dnsdomainname&#58; Unknown host
  CHK     usr/initramfs_list
Kernel&#58; arch/i386/boot/bzImage is ready  &#40;#2&#41;
sh /usr/src/linux-2.6.14.2/arch/i386/boot/install.sh 2.6.14.2 arch/i386/boot/bzImage System.map "/boot"
Added Linux_2.6.9 *
Added Linux_2.4.26

which is no good. Why doesn't this install the new kernel?

no idea

but I do it manually by

cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/2.6.14.2

or whatever

then hand editing the /etc/lilo.conf for the new kernel image
then lilo -v after

it seems you built the kernel fine though so theres no need to help you there

Thanks, that sorted it out. I'm kind of embarassed that I didn't work that out on my own, but it was a learning experience.
