Should it be possible to safely compile and install a 2.6.6 kernel on Sarge with a 2.6.3 kernel running? The options for this kernel are a little confusing. I know there is a native ATA/ATAPI driver now so that ide-scsi is no longer needed (but will removing generic SCSI support render cdrecord & co. useless?)
I'll backup the various bits in /boot and keep the old entries in grub's menu.lst, and what about the modules? Before I go ahead and compile and install, if it's generally safe to do so, will the /lib/modules/modprobe.conf need to be backed up? It seems to be global, so that it's applicable regardless of kernel version. Maybe it doesn't really change from version to version... do I need to make sure of certain configuration items in there depending on which kernel version I have? Thanks very much. :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
