Re: [expert] upgrading mandrake's kernel
Thanks for the suggestions; I ended up downloading Mandrake Cooker 2.4.22 from rpmfind.net , and confuguring it to death.After removing all the modules that I'll never need, the startup time of the machine has halved. (understandably, Mandrake installs almost everything, and whenever possible, as modules.) It's very stable; and runs well.. -turgut - Turgut Kalfaoglu: http://www.kalfaoglu.com EgeNet Internet Services: http://www.egenet.com.tr Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] upgrading mandrake's kernel
I am reinstalling 9.1 on my Thinkpad laptop; and I noticed the old problem; that you cannot enable the IDE DMA with my setup; hdparms just says operation not permitted or something. I was wondering what is the best way to upgrade to a newer kernel, say 2.4.22 ? Does Mandrake use a patched the kernel, or is it 'plain vanilla' as found at www.kernel.org? Can I just download the new one from kernel.org, make xconfig, install, and let it rip?

Hi They have both, and even more : a vanilla, a patched, an experimental, a low-latency patch one, smp, etc... they have different names.

It is 2.4.22 with a bunch of Mandrake specific enhancements like supermount, etc. Just grab it (the kernel RPM) from one of the 9.2 mirrors. It will install alongside your 9.1 kernel so that you can select between them at boot. -- /g Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a book, inside a dog it's too dark to read -Groucho Marx Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] Upgrading the Kernel
Hi, I've never upgraded the kernel like this, so I wanted to run it by this list before I tried... The default kernel in LM8.0 is 2.4.3-10mdk, and I saw 2.4.3-23mdk on the cooker mirrors. So I've downloaded kernel-2.4.3-23mdk.src.rpm, and I think I do this, right: $ rpm --rebuild kernel-2.4.3-23mdk.src.rpm $ rpm -Uvh /path/to/rpms/kernel-2.4.3-23mdk.rpm I guess my first question is, do you think it's ok to upgrade, I think that -10mdk still had a file system corruption bug, so I would think this version would have that fixed, right? Also, is that all there is to it? I can't seem to find any relevant information on linux-mandrake.com Thanks, --- Russell Hoffman 972-883-6149 GR3.104F -FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION!!...it comes bundled in the software!
Re: [expert] Upgrading the Kernel
First off, you should never use 'rpm -Uvh' for kernel upgrades. If you do that, it will overwrite your current kernel. Use 'rpm -ivh', as it says to do in the kernel docs, this will install the new kernel along side your old one.

[expert] Upgrading the Kernel - LM 7.2
Just a stupid aside (I want to double check to make sure I've properly read all necessary documentation). How should I go about updated LM 7.2 (default kernel 2.2.17-?? I believe) to 2.4.4 (or similar i.e. 2.4.3-30mdk) I have a complete kernel download of 2.4.4 and the available package from mandrake for 2.4.3x Any help would be appreciated

Re: [expert] upgrading from kernel 2.2 to 2.4 now having module problems...
I just built the 2.4.1-9mdk kernel from cooker, installed it, and now all seems fine. The first time I built it, I did it specifically for my athlon/k7. I had module problems up the ying-yang. I don't know if this was the fix, but I tried again, this time just doing it for 5x86,6x86. I also built and installed the new modutils-2.4 from cooker (I am building it all so it will work with my glibc2.1 - I'm not touching glibc2.2 for a LOOONG time, it will wreck everything and I don't want to deal with it yet).
