I was trying to install a custom kernel in RH7.2. I downloaded kernel 
3.4.27 from kernel.org , compiled it made 'make bzImage' , then made the 
appropriate changes to GRUB to boot it (just added a new line to 
grub.onf , with '/usr/src/linux2.4.27/boot/bzImage'  in place of default 
vmlinuz. It booted OK.Then I added an integer array to stuct inode and 
struct ext2_inode(my fs is ext2) , again compiled it and tried to boot 
it.(The compilations were done in the default kernel and certainly not 
the new one).But now the kernel just does not boot.(compilation was 
OK).On selecting the new kernel from grub ,the system just reboots.Is 
this behaviour very expected? How can I remedy the situation?PLease 
help.Thanks in advance.
