[expert] Kernel 2.2.3-ac4-4 upgrade
G'day All, The following is the procedure and problems I encountered upgrading to kernel 2.2.3-ac4-4 over a standard CD install of Mandrake v5.3. 1. Downloaded all RPMS in dirs /kernel, /kernel_misc, and /updates from my local mirror site to my /downloads. 2. Backed up /etc, and /home. 3. startx, desktop KDE, ran RPM. 4. RPM/options to reflect /home/doyle/downloads dir, refresh RPM. 5. Opened the entire RPM tree to enable me to see where the Updated/New RPMS were. 6. UN-installed old kernel RPMS. 7. Installed Updated RPMS. 8. Error pop-up box on the kernel.rpm install "could not install kernel" after all had appeared to have been completed, and it had disappeared from the RPM Update tree 9. Went to the top of the RPM Tree and worked my way down UN-installing old and Installing new RPMS where required. 10. Edited lilo.conf to reflect the new kernel. 11. Ran lilo. 12. Logged out of KDE, exit, alt/ctrl/del. 13. Shutdown progressed OK for aprox half of the required shutdowns, and then hung :- 14. BIG RED BUTTON. 15. Loading Swap Partition insecure permissions 0660 suggested 0600. 16. Checking file system due to big red button shutdown :-))) 17. Ever module loaded with OK :- 18. Login Prompt. 19. Logged in as root, mouse running, still ran mouseconfig. 20. startx, KDE desktop, OK. 21. No printers available, deleted local and SMB printer using print-tool, attempted to add both printers again, local printer not detected. 22. Applied fix as suggested by D in my last kernel update. Fix: KMod If you use kmod, you will find it useful to edit /etc/conf.modules. Here is an example of the lines that need to be added: alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc options parport_pc io=0x378,0x278 irq=7,auto KMod will then automatically load parport_pc (with the options "io=0x378,0x278 irq=7,auto") whenever a parallel port device driver (such as lp) is loaded. 23. Ran Print-tool, add local printer detected, added and tested OK. 24. Added SMB printer, unable to obtain test printouts, ping the 3 win98 boxes worked, network neighborhood unable to see Linux box but able to see each win box. 25. Edited the new smb.conf. /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart, OK. 26. Restarted each win box, network neighborhood reports network not accessible, but loaded their respective network drives on the Linux box?? 27. Each of the win boxes is able to access the Internet via the Linux box, but not using it as the DNS server. 28. So the network is there but it is not?? Still unable to access the SMB printer, from the Linux box, all win win boxes can print to it OK?? 29. Everything else appears to be working OK, including sound. 30. All round comments, fairly trouble free install. 31. HELP, required with the network problem, and yes eth) was loaded OK on boot. 32 COLD BEER, Ahh. -- Michael Doyle Adelaide, South Australia ICQ #2635762 http://landofoz.apana.org.au
