Hi,
I am trying to build the 2.4.17 Kernel and upgrade my existing 2.4.7-10 Red
Hat Linux System. Here is the procedure I followed ( based on Red Hat
Documentation on the same ):

1. tar -xvzf linux-2.4.17.tar.gz
2. cd linux
3. make mkproper
4. make menuconfig
5.make dep
6. make clean
7. make bzImage
8. make modules
9. make modules_install
10. cp /usr/src/linux-2.4.17/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17
11. cp /usr/src/linux-2.4.17/System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.17
12. cd /boot rm System.map ln -s System.map-2.4.17 System.map
13. mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.17.img 2.4.17
14. Modify the /etc/lilo.conf to add
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17
label=linux-Mine
root=/dev/hda1
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.17
read-only

Now when i reboot and select the linux-Mine option the screen displays
Loading vmlinuz-2.4.7
Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel

and then HANGS!!!!!!

What might be the problem. I have followed the instruction to the T. I
tried without the initrd option too. I have enabled the RAM diak
option/disabled it....

Please help me out on the issue.

Thanks and Regards,
Abdij
