New kernel won't install
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: Unknown host
CHK usr/initramfs_list
Kernel: arch/i386/boot/bzImage is ready (#2)
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.
