I compiled a kernel, and I am not sure what I need to get the th kernel to boot
Do I need a boot program
Also do I need a root file system? How can I set both and execute m kernel
Right now I have bad magic number error message. I have tried t
install compressed and uncompressed kernel image files. What i wrong
You *always* need a bootloader to boot the kernel, after that you will need a filesystem too.
