Hi 

thanks for the input.

You mean I need to check the config in 'make menuconfig'?
>> yes

Any idea where exactly I could look?
>> no. But when the kernel is booting, you can see if it is giving any
errors. That can be a clue.

Also, how did you boot into the old kernel, getting your maschine back
up again? I only manage to reinstall from zero...

>> When I experimented with my new kernel I added another entry in my
grub file. That gave me 2 options - to load from my previous kernel or
to load from my new kernel. So everytime things went wrong with my new
kernel I booted from the new kernel (which was always intact, not
overwritten by the new kernel), made modifications for the new kernel
and then tried out with the new kernel.

Thanks for your time and help.

Zeno
