Dude.......no. This is not the way to do this, not the kernel. The kernel is a special case situation that has to be dealt with individually. What you do here is install the source to the new kernel, with rpm -ivh kernel_version_blah.src.rpm. Then you go to the /usr/src/kernel_version_blah directory and do "make xconfig" assuming you are in X. Then before you do ANYTHING you should spend at least two hours going thru xconfig getting used to the options, and more importantly what they mean. You will have to match your hardware to the options in xconfig, plus eliminate what is not used, include what is being used, and thru trial and error learn to recognize the difference. Last but not least, modularize everything but the kitchen sink.
This is only the beginning, there are several other packages that go along with a new kernel; you must update those as well. The following doc is old, but it's the one I've used and it's still relevant even today: http://www.redhat.com/support/resources/howto/kernel-upgrade/s1-before-upgrade.html This system here is an LM81 and when I do a package scan per the above doc, I get the following: [root@tamriel linux]# rpm -qa | grep 'kernel' kernel-2.4.8-26mdk kernel-doc-2.4.8-26mdk kernel-source-2.4.8-26mdk kernel-headers-2.4.8-26mdk NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2802.mdk81up The NVIDIA rpm must be upgraded before your system will operate with the new kernel; it will probably behoove you to go generic with the X display driver while you experiment with the new kernel, and/or download X display drivers to match your new kernel. The other packages must be installed to match the version of your new kernel. There may be updated procedures for this, or a more up to date and more comprehensive faq/howto available, I'm just not sure where they are. Civ probably has more information sources available on this. Other comments would be welcome... Hope that gets you started. :) LX On Mon, 2002-04-15 at 05:54, Doug McClendon wrote: > I tried rpm --rebuild /home/dmc/kernel-2.4.18.6mdk-1-1mdk.src.rpm > > and after half an hour, got this > > /usr/bin/gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/RPM/BUILD/linux/include -Wall > -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common > -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i586 > -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -include > /usr/src/RPM/BUILD/linux/include/linux/modversions.h > -DKBUILD_BASENAME=cache -c -o cache.o cache.c > /usr/bin/gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/RPM/BUILD/linux/include -Wall > -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common > -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i586 > -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -include > /usr/src/RPM/BUILD/linux/include/linux/modversions.h > -DKBUILD_BASENAME=journal -c -o journal.o journal.c > In file included from /usr/src/RPM/BUILD/linux/include/asm/semaphore.h:39, > from /usr/src/RPM/BUILD/linux/include/linux/fs.h:215, > from journal.c:11: > /usr/src/RPM/BUILD/linux/include/asm/system.h:203: parse error before > `volatime' > /usr/src/RPM/BUILD/linux/include/asm/system.h:204: warning: function > declaration isn't a prototype > /usr/src/RPM/BUILD/linux/include/asm/system.h: In function `__xchg': > /usr/src/RPM/BUILD/linux/include/asm/system.h:205: `size' undeclared > (first use in this function) > /usr/src/RPM/BUILD/linux/include/asm/system.h:205: (Each undeclared > identifier is reported only once -- 같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같� Kernel 2.4.8-26mdk Mandrake Linux 8.1 Enlightenment 0.16.5 Evolution 1.02 Registered Linux User #268899 http://counter.li.org/ 같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같� _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
