Re: kernel upgrade to 2.4.18 [Solved]
I'm definitely over my head in this debate and will happily defer to those who know more about the issues involved. However, I will say that for my situation I far prefer compiling in /usr/src/kernel-sources-* than in a generic /usr/src/linux symlink. I have several different kernel configs (and even one different kernel version) for different computers; I keep them all in a centralized /usr/src, and I compile them all on one machine. It would be very clumsy to have to rm and ln /usr/src/linux every time I wanted to switch which kernel I'm working on. And I've never had a problem compiling the modules, including separate ones like pcmcia-cs and openafs. ap -- Andrew J Perrin - http://www.unc.edu/~aperrin Assistant Professor of Sociology, U of North Carolina, Chapel Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED] * andrew_perrin (at) unc.edu On Fri, 21 Jun 2002, Paul E Condon wrote: On Fri, Jun 21, 2002 at 08:59:32AM -0400, Andrew Perrin wrote: On Thu, 20 Jun 2002, Paul E Condon wrote: [snip] Also here, the tarball must be untarred, which I figured out myself, and Sorry - forgot that step! there must be a softlink /usr/src/linux that points to /usr/src/kernel-sources-2.4.18, which was pointed out to me by Griz Inabnit No, you do not need such a link.

I've recently heard arguments that putting a soft link /usr/src/linux - /usr/src/kernel-sources-x.x.xx breaks things in Debian. Any comments on this? I did one test as follows: I used the config file that the maintainer place in kernel-image-2.4.18-686_2.4.18-5_i386.deb This file gets installed at /boot/config-2.4.18-686 I copied it to /usr/scr/kernel-source-2.4.18/.config and did two builds using make-kpkg. One build with the softlink and one without. I looked at the resulting two debian kernel-image packages using gmc. All the required modules were in the package that was made with the softlink. Many modules were missing from the package that was made without the softlink. Maybe with a different selection of config settings the results would be different. In particular, if I made a config file that did not call for any of the modules that were missing, I suppose I would get a 'successful' build without the softlink. My simple view of how computers work makes it very hard for me to believe that an extra softlink would break a piece of functioning software. Replacing a directory that is used for scratch with a softlink to a directory that contains valuable stuff would surely play hob with the build, but that is not what is being done. My test results have really strengthened my respect for Debian and it maintainers. And for this list. Thanks to you all. -- Kevin C.

Re: kernel upgrade to 2.4.18 [Solved] !Retraction!
I have been re-examining my work on soft links when building kernels with make-kpkg. The kernel-image package that I generated when testing the case of soft link not present was made with a wrong config file, i.e. not the same one as the other case. I know this because I opened the deb packages and compared the /boot/config-2.4.18 files in the two packages. They were not the same. I certainly was intending to use the same config file, but, manifestly, I did not. I am sorry for the trouble I have caused. Please accept my sincere apology. Debian rules!

BUT the only modules which I've _needed_ to create the Debian way are the pcmcia-cs modules, which are unpacked from the pcmcia-cs package into /usr/src/modules/pcmcia-cs, and those are the only modules in the modules directory. However, in /lib/modules/2.4.18/ is a bunch of other stuff; and I _always_ (re)move my old modules directory when installing a new kernel. I'm pretty sure (the experts can speak to it) that dpkg -i kernel-image takes care of installing everything which you select _as a module_ during the kernel config, and that you only need to make modules the Debian way when they are third party modules like pcmcia-cs.

Re: kernel upgrade to 2.4.18
I'm trying to compile the exact same image on my Athlon 1700 system. I've been following this thread with great interest. I've seen some good pointers from a lot of folks. Could someone please just put a dummy list of steps on how to upgrade a kernel. I've downloaded about 3 howtos but they are for compiling kernels manually. This seems to be another way (easier too) to do the same thing. If there already is a howto developed, please let me know. Tim p.s. for an athlon system do I need a special version of the kernel?

Also I think the make-kpkg line should be something closer to make-kpkg --revision x.y kernel_image Also the *.deb should be in the directory /usr/src/ So look for it there. You should do a man make-kpkg for the full amount of options you have. make-kpkg is actually a very nice tool for compiling kernels.
