[lug] Kernel 2.4.18 for C3-based board

[Scott A. Herod]

Hello,

I recently installed RH 7.3 on a new Via board that I got.  Installation 
was fine and the board works well. ( Except for the XF86 4.2.0 trident 
driver over the RCA video output.  X with vesa works though. )  I did 
tell it to use lilo as the boot loader so that I could draw an image on 
the display at boot time.  I have not found out how to do something 
similar with grub.

Prior to making some minor changes to the kernel, I wanted to rebuild 
RH's default.  It builds with the steps listed below but fails while 
booting.  It starts with "Loading linux ........" then the machine 
reboots.  I suspect that I'm making a simple error but cannot figure out 
what.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

======================

Build steps:

Install the source RPM from the 7.3 distro.
Copy source to /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-itv.
Make /usr/source/linux-2.4 point to /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-itv.
In linux-2.4 run:
    make mrproper
    cp configs/kernel-2.4.18-i686.config .config
    make xconfig ( Save and exit with no changes )
    make clean; make dep; make; make modules; make modules_install
    make bzImage
    cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-itv
In /boot, do "mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.2.14-itv.img 2.2.14-itv"
Edit lilo.conf to say:

prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
linear

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-3
         label=linux
         initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-3.img
         read-only
         root=/dev/hda2
         vga=785

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-itv
         label=linux2
         initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-itv.img
         read-only
         root=/dev/hda2

Run lilo -v
