Hi all,<br>
<br>
Recently I compiled and tried installing kernel (2.6.39.3), which I<br>
downloaded from <a href="http://kernel.org" target="_blank">kernel.org</a><br>
All the activity that I did was to copy the .config file of my distro<br>
(Ubuntu 10.10), then the following commands :<br>
<br>
- make menuconfig ( I exited, keeping the default configuration )<br>
- make modules<br>
- make install_modules<br>
- make install<br>
- update grub<br>
<br>
All of the above commands got executed without any errors, and the new<br>
kernel version was also shown in the grub menu. But it showed some<br>
errors and didn't login.<br>
<br>
When I tried logging to my Ubuntu distro, a blue login box(which is<br>
normally violet in color) appeared. After giving password, it came<br>
back again to the same screen without going inside.<br>
<br>
Only thing I was able to do was to dropping in root mode (from<br>
Ubuntu's recovery mode u\in the grub menu) and looking at all of my<br>
data through terminal without a GUI.<br>
<br>
Can anyone tell how can I recover my compiled kernel and distro's kernel?<br>
<br></blockquote><div>I think you should rather ask this question on ubuntu mailing list. it hardly seems a kernel issue. its mostly an X related problem. <br>secondly, try to look into log messages e.g. dmesg and /var/log/message(not sure about the location on ubuntu though)<br>
thirdly, its possible that .config is incorrect. <br>with this info, one can hardly tell what is going on. <br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
Thankyou.<br>
