Re: help with kernel compiling
i dont recall ever mentioning that i used kernel 2.2.13 :) i use 2.2.14 on one of my home machines, 2.3.41 on the other .. 2.2.10 on most other machines and 2.0.36 on my most important boxes. nate On Sun, 30 Jan 2000, Dwayne C .

Re: help with kernel compiling
Why 2.0.36 on your most important boxes? Just wondering, im about to upgrade to the latest and greatest, but im currently at 2.0.36. Tom
Re: help with kernel compiling
well, 2.0.36 has prooven itself stable to use. i have a couple patches in it, but probably the biggest thing is my main machines use software raid, i've read about some problems in 2.2.x raid and am not confident upgrading to 2.2.x will make everything run as stable as it does now. i am about 1500 miles away from those machines so if something critical happened and reverting to the old kernel didnt fix it i'd be looking at at least a week of downtime while someone ships the drives to me to look at/repair. although the prospects of making better use of the 2nd processor in this machine on a 2.2.x kernel are nice, i think i will hold off until we physically replace the whole machine before i go for a new kernel rev and new distribution(potato). this machine being up for almost 6 months makes me confident this kernel is good. nate On Mon, 31 Jan 2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: TKWJ3 Why 2.0.36 on your most important boxes?

Re: help with kernel compiling
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way, someone said... Hi, When I try to compile 2.2.12 at gateway2000 (pentium 200 with MMX), I got the following message, I install hamm on it, and upgrade it to potato now. But I failed in kernel compiling every time. I try 2.0.36 2.0.38, but failed at some delay system call. Any suggestion? Thanks! Have a nice weekend!
