[linux-help] Re: Boot problem kernels 2.4x (latest)

[Weqaar Ali Janjua <wxjanjua@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have tried everything, I have been recompiling kernels for the last 4 yrs
but never faced such problem except the image-size-limit and compiling
against header files for a different or older kernel...but everythings
perfect(seems to be) here...did u recompile 2.4x branch kernel and it worked
fine????
Thanx,
Weqaar Ali Janjua
