kernel 2.6.0

Hi:

but I think, i downloaded the kernel image, so it is compilled, not the source code, so if this kernel is compilled and installed,

how can i make it run?

I don't have to do this makes, haven't I? only configure something to run it?

If it is a kernel image from Debian then you use the dpkg program as root to install there are examples of the command in the posts above and this is one case where you will have to edit lilo as in Hayabusa's post above and you would want to add the initrd line to the new kernel stanza that was created when you installed and then run lilo again as posted above.

Hi everybody:

I've been off many time, but work is work.

I'm wondering what have I done wrong. I have compiled and installed the kernel packages lots of times but always is the same result. It loads the kernel, then says Bios data check successfull and then, nothing. i think I have to specify something to start runing, do you agree? what is it?

I have tried multiple times and always get the same result you describe. Most recently, I tried this on a system running Debian installed with the official Debian installer, so it is not a Knoppix problem. I followed the steps above, extracted the kernel source, copied a working config file, did "make menuconfig". The only changes I made to the configuration was switch processor from "386" to "K7" and switching Reiserfs support from "M" to "*" so that I wouldn't need an initrd. Still no luck. BIOS check OK, then nothing....
