Doing it like described above it works (has to be "menuconfig" by the way)! The last kernel I build myself was a 2.4.x where I was used to run: make xconfig/menuconfig make make dep make modules make modules install and finally make zImage/bzImage What´s the difference in runnning make bzImage directly? And what causes my machine to crash, when I do it the wrong way (is it a bug?)? The only thing I changed in menuconfig the second time was switching from "pentium pro" to "athlon" architecture. Could this be harmful? Thank´s & Regards, Chris
