Hi all,
Being new to compiling and installing a new kernel, I have found myself in a bit of a hole. After booting my new kernel with one or two non-critical errors, I find that when sending a command to reboot, that the system will shutdown but not restart again. It will just remain off, much like I had just issues a halt command.
I think I have missed an option when running make menuconfig; a lot of the options are confusing to me still. Could anyone suggest what I might do?

try init 6 and init 0, you should get a reboot with init 6

that doesn't really sound like a kernel problem... more like a problem with the shutdown scripts in the /sbin directory. did the reboot work before you changed the kernel?

yeah it did. nothing changes until i try to boot the new kernel.

Is it possible that I am having trouble because I have not included APM support in the kernel?
