Cross compiled kernel won't boot

I've followed this wiki under Ubuntu:
http://elinux.org/Rpi_kernel_compilation#Ubuntu_Linux
Copied the config as described and afterwards menuconfig to enable PPP filtering.
Build completed, copied the kernel en ending with the "test screen".
i've copied the latest kernel from github to /boot/ so the other files should be up-to-date

What can I do wrong with this, it should be so easy...
Who has a clue?

If I understand you correct you are able to compile a new kernel.
Are you able to convert the kernel to a kernel.img file using this command?

Code: Select all

python imagetool-uncompressed.py path/to/linux/arch/arm/boot/Image

If it works you will find a kernel.img file. Copy this file to your SD card's /boot directory

At least your pi should boot.
Please let me know if you pi boots because we need to copy the modules also

Code: Select all

python imagetool-uncompressed.py path/to/linux/arch/arm/boot/Image

Actually this is now optional. Recent firmwares will accept the "Image" file directly (just renamed to kernel.img).

Nice thanks but does it work with the ZImage as well?

No.

Yes, compilation is ok
Indeed commands aren't needed
