Problem in installing new kernel

[rajtendulkar 0]

am a new user to Red Hat Linux Enterprise Edition 4.1

I am trying to install a new kernel 2.6.15.6 on my Linux.

 

I have compiled the kernel and copied bzImage to /boot partition.

Also I have modified the grub.conf file

it is listed as

 

# grub.conf generated by anaconda

#

# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file

# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that

# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.

# root (hd0,2)

# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda6

# initrd /initrd-version.img

#boot=/dev/sda

default=2

timeout=5

splashimage=(hd0,2)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

managed to find out my hardware.

I have SCSI hard disk installed on my PC.

 

so I have now enabled the SCSI support in the configuration.

 

But now this has given rise to new error solving the previous ones...

 

the last message that appears on the screen when i boot is

 

Enforcing mode requested but no policy loaded.Halting Now

Kernel Panic : No syncing : Attempted to kill init !!!

 

Please help me out

Are you installing the new kernel from source, or a RedHat repository?
