Lo all,
Well, I have been trying my best to get into linux... (so far I have had a lot of frustration)... I have currently went back to red hat (4th install) and well, the default kernel for a start is useless
So, for the past day and a half, I have been trying to compile a "working" one.
First of all, followed laclasse's guide, it's great, very informative... and helped me alot. The only problem I have is I really want apci to throttle my cpu.. so I tired it several times, but everytime I try to compile with the module installed, I get a compile error... if I leave it out... no bother... but I want it
So, I decided I would try the beta 2.564.. it comes with apci, doesn't have to be patched and a lot of other cool stuff to + a very informative GUI... after a few compile errors (removing the offending modules... they were redundant anyway, I just overlooked them) I got a fully compiled kernel and installed it... rebooted... and then selected the new kernel in grub...
I believe it gets to decompressing kernel........ and once it has, says it is begining to load... but it just hangs there... the hard drive does show a bit of activity, but it stops after a bit and restarts after about 30secs...
So... right now I am tearing my hair out. I really want to compile a kernel made specifically for a Sager... but I am having no luck...
Any help, pointers etc. would be greatly appreciated.
I know the possible errors (and the fact I have failed to find the kernel error log) are well, infinite... but any tips, or things you need to help me I would be glad to supply.
Cheers again
