Hi there. I've been upgrading from 2.4.2 to 3.0.2 and ran into something a bit odd. (Actually a few things, but I will post them separate, as I think that'll make for cleaner responses.)
The ISO image for CD for 2.4.2 had a complete unpacked tree of modules available. This allowed me to edit /etc/modules and use syntax like this: ### local customizations ### Ethernet drivers crc32 ! mount iso9660 /dev/cdrom ! dir /lib/modules/2.4.32/kernel/drivers/net sis900 3c59x ### QoS ! dir /lib/modules/2.4.32/kernel/net/sched cls_fw cls_route cls_rsvp cls_rsvp6 cls_tcindex cls_u32 sch_cbq sch_csz sch_dsmark sch_gred sch_hfsc sch_htb sch_ingress sch_netem sch_prio sch_red sch_sfq sch_tbf sch_teql ! umount The nice thing about this is that the cdrom loads more quickly. It also strikes me as more secure, given the read only nature of the cdrom. (The floppy can be write protected, but obviously someone could modify it more easily.) With 3.0.2 I could only find a gzipped tarfile of the modules. I have to unpack this somewhere, copy the modules to /lib/modules, and then back up the modules to floppy to create moddb.lrp. As you might imagine, with my long list of modules above, that file is becoming quite large and takes a while to load. Any thoughts? Alternate approaches I'm missing? Would it be possible to put the complete unpacked modules distribution on 3.1.0? (I guess while I'm at it, any updates on when a production 3.1.0 might come out?) -- Bob ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
