kernel compiling...

[Visnu]

This is my problem:I am trying to configure my devices in suse linux 8.2-which means that i had to configure the kernel,and recompile it-but the system cannot boot with the new kernel.
I've configured the boot-loader(i think correctly...)but when i try to boot from the new kernel,
there comes an error message:''Unrecognised string"
Any good ideas?.......................................................................................................................

did you have any errors during the update?

[Visnu]

No,there were no errors at all.......

Visnu after the compile of the kernel, did you cp th image to your boot ?

Maybe the version of kernel and you bootloader section could be usefull here.
For.ex. the 2.4 kernel is very different from the 2.6 kernel and needs a different compile.

Anyway please provide more info,

I have the 2.4 kernel and,indeed,shrekkie,the problem must be in the image
of the boot loader.How can i configure it?Tell me if u know or please give any links
so as i can find a solution......
