Invalid compressed format (err=2)

Jun 27, 2004 1 Replies

I've just build a new kernel - based on 2.4.18; and when it boots it comes up



Uncompressing Linux .... invalid comprssed format (err=2)


-- System halted



What's the cause of this ? or more importantly, what can I do to fix it ?



I do



make mrproper make xconfig make dep make clean make bzImage make modules make modules_install copy the image copy the map

Try make zImage instead, so what kind of MotherBoard you have, is it Embedded one (SBC) ?

What is your loader (grub,Lilo) ? and where are you copying the new Kernel Image (grep on your Makefile ...)
