7 No, maxim. Most likely, YOU have made a mistake somewhere in
8 upgrading your kernel. Either you are not buildilng what you think
9 you are, or are not copying it to where you think you are, or are not
10 booting from what you think you are.
11
12 But you keep trying to convince everyone that you did not make a
13 mistake, and are not providing enough detailed information for them
14 (or us, I remember the previous thread here on this issue) to either
15 tell you where you made your mistake, or mentally get past the
16 likelihood that you made a mistake and consider other options.
17
18 I asked you for dmesg output on your previous thread here. You did not respond.
19 Daniel asked you to attach dmesg output on your bug report. You did not.
20
21 So, again, I will try to help you...
22
23 1. If not already done, configure your kernel "General Setup -> Kernel
24 .config supprt" and the sub-option "Enable access to .config through
25 /proc/config.gz".
26
27 2. If necessary, rebuild and re-install the 2.6.16 kernel.
28
29 3. Reboot from the 2.6.16 kernel, and run "zdiff /proc/config.gz
30 /usr/src/linux/.config". If this produces _any_ output, you are not
31 booting from the new kernel.
32
33 Once we _know_ whether you are actually booting from the kernel that
34 you are building or not, we will know how to proceed to fix the
35 problems you are having.
