Hi all (and jaques), I have compiled kernel 2.4.21 and modules for Bering (and Lince). It works ok, but I had a problem with the ide module (ide.o): depmod couldn't resolve all the symbols, so it was unable to resolve correctly all the symbols for ide-xxx.o modules. The solution: I have integrated ide and ide-disk directly into kernel, the new kernel results just a little bit bigger. kernel-2.4.20 --> 518,4k and kernel-2.4.21 --> 585,8k.
I have patched it with: freeswan-1.99.tar.gz (jaques: maybe it's time to upgrade to 2.x?) ebtables-brnf-3_vs_2.4.21.diff ecn.patch grsecurity-1.9.11-2.4.21.patch helpers-2.4.21.patch routes-2.4.20-9.diff (suggested by S Mohan) unclean1.patch linux-2.4.21-openssl-0.9.6b-mppe.patch The new kernel (named 'linux') and modules (named 'Lince_modules_2.4.21.tar.gz') will be available at lince cvs area: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/leaf/bin/lince/ Please, use it for testing purpose by now. If you need to upgrade a Bering system from 2.4.20 to the new 2.4.21 follow this steps: - Mount the floppy, CF or harddrive or wherever the lrp packages (*.lrp, syslinux.cfg, linux, ect) are placed and remove the old kernel (named 'linux'). Copy the new kernel into the mounted medium with the same name ('linux'). Check the medium space before upgrading to the new kernel!!!. - Remove old modules from initrd and copy the new modules needed for it into /boot/lib/modules, edit if you need /boot/etc/modules, and backup the initrd package. - Remove old modules from the system and copy the new modules needed for it into /lib/modules, remove the link /lib/modules/2.4.20 and backup the modules package. - Reboot system. It should boot correctly. This minihowto comes WITHOUT any guarantee, use it at your own risk. If somebody does not understand the instructions, it's better not to try upgrading the system. Suggestions are welcome. El Mar 24 Jun 2003 00:03, Jacques Nilo escribió: > Le Lundi 23 Juin 2003 20:00, K.-P.
