modprobe ntfs wont work, cant locate ntfs. Its clearly not installed. I''ll try recompiling the kernel in a cd booted linux environment.

Yes it is generaly good idea to compile and install kernel from some other kernel(other version/location)

I am a signature virus. Please add me to your signature so that I may multiply.

did you compile it as a module? compile it as staticly into the kernel instead

Ok im sure that'll fix the problem. Thanks for the help you guys.
Cheers.

may seem like a stupid question, but are you sure you're actually running the new kernel? Did you edit your boot managers config file to reflect the changes?

I copied the compiled files into the boot diresctory as in the handbook. bzImage and System.map. I''ll recompile from a boot CD when I get the time. Thanks anyway for the reply.

if you compiled as modules, then all you needed to do was compile then install them:
make modules
make modules_install

I did:

make dep && make bzImage modules modules_install

# basically what you said.
Then I did:

cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.4.24
cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.24
cp .config /boot/config-2.4.24

-CProgrammer

What about grub or lilo?

Also, did you mount your /boot before copying? (make install has a nasty habit of not failing if you forget that part.)

This stuff may seem obvious, but I''ve forgotten it before .

Dang I didnt mount /boot. I figured it would do that automatically since I have Linux completely installed and booted up.
Thanks.
