Goto the flat package list during install, I believe kernel2.2 is one of the options. --- "Aaron J.

What I want to know is, is there an option to select the 2.2.19 > kernel on Mandrake 8.0, and if so, how do I go about installing it? Manually install the 2.2.19 kernel using rpm. You can select kernel 2.2 instead of 2.4 during the install, but 2.4 still gets installed by default and the initrd is not there for the 2.2. kernel. One of the post install scripts calls /sbin/installkernel, which then calls /usr/share/loader/make-initrd. Since those directories do not exist in that location during the install, an initrd image does not get made during the install. It will however, get made when you manually install it after a regular bootup. You will have to edit lilo.conf and I find that I also have to symlink System.map-2.2.19secure-mdk to System.map-2.2 in order for lilo not to complain (since I point lilo.conf to the vmlinuz-2.2 symlink instead of to the vmlinuz-2.2.19secure-mdk). While not an official statement, if you wish to do reiser partitions with the 2.2 kernel is the easiest way to do this is to install the reiserfsutils rpm from the Mandrake 7.2 CD1 or download it from a Mandrake mirror. You will have to rpm -e the reiserfsprogs rpm since those programs are for 2.4 only. Reiser gets to be a bit cumbersome as you switch between kernels 2.2 and 2.4, but . It is unknown if this will produce versioning conflicts at this time. It is also suggested that reiser partitions be mounted "notail". I encourage discussion that debates the merits of the tails functionality versus its longterm stability. notail generally increases speed at the expense of slightly more wasted disk space, but it seems that noatime increases speed more dramatically. -- todd at mandrakesoft dot com http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en
Re: [expert] 2.2.19 kernel with Mandrake 8.0?
I'm not really trying to back out of the 2.4 kernel. If I have to, I will simply reinstall Mandrake 8.0. If nothing else, I'll go back to 7.2. What I want to know is, is there an option to select the 2.2.19 kernel on Mandrake 8.0, and if so, how do I go about installing it?

Re: [expert] 2.2.19 kernel with Mandrake 8.0?
Aaron, you'll probably have to "downgrade" manually. You can install kernels through doing some rpm work or by installing it manually from a .tar.gz file or some such thing. There are numerous howtos for this. You shouldn't need to up/downgrade anything else to do it (does anyone else know about this?) so it should just be a "simple install". %->, j --- "Aaron J.

[expert] 2.2.19 kernel with Mandrake 8.0?
I finally installed Mandrake 8.0 last night. I intended to install the 2.2.19 kernel with it because I have a legacy application that the 2.4 kernel is incompatible with. Unfortunately, I never saw a dialog box asking me which kernel I wanted to install. I did choose expert install, but I didn't see any place where I could specify what kernel to use. Did I just miss it? How do you select the 2.2.19 kernel with Mandrake 8.0? Right now I have a nice-looking box that I really can't use because my primary application, a VPN client, won't work with it. Thanks, Aaron -- Aaron J.
