[newbie] Having trouble upgrading to kernel-2.4.22.26mdk
I'm having trouble upgrading to kernel-2.4.22.26mdk on my brand new Mandrake 9.2 installation. Following the instructions on mandrakesecure.net, I first upgraded bootloader-utils to bootloader-utils-1.6-3.1.92mdk, which, seems to install fine. Then, I attempt to install kernel-2.4.22.26mdk and get this error: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# urpmi kernel-2.4.22.26mdk Installation failed, some files are missing: ftp://ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/updates/9.2/RPMS/./kernel-2.4.22.26mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm You may want to update your urpmi database So, I update my urpmi database with 'urpmi.update -a' and that seems to update properly, however, I continue to get the same error when trying to install the kernel update. I have no idea what files are missing. Currently, I am running the same kernel that was originally installed with the system, 2.4.22-10mdk, so this would be the first kernel update I have done on this system. I am new to Mandrake and linux in general so I would really appreciate any help in this matter. Thanks, Mike Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Ok, here is 4 scripts I use for updating my system- mdk9.2. They work fine for me in South Africa ... this site is located here too...I do have other sites in smiler scripts...but you could maybe modify them to a more local good site. Use as follows.. First save them to a directory...like bin in your user account. Then... ./00-add-iscoza then.. ./000-listmedia.you Will now see all listed media and the above one should show. Go on to the net then.. ./00-upd-iscoza Quite a lot of stuff will show but wait until prompt. ** Now if you want to do a full update of your system then... ./00-use-iscoza BEWAREthis WILL take hours.about 150 to 200 MB on first update. What you want to do is to update your kernel them like thisactual on my system... [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# urpmi kernel One of the following packages is needed: 1- kernel-2.4.22.10mdk-1-1mdk.i586 2- kernel-2.4.22.21mdk-1-1mdk.i586 3- kernel-2.4.22.26mdk-1-1mdk.i586 What is your choice? (1-3) ...then pick 3..about 40MB I installed choice 3 last night. Now on my system all 3 are installed side by side. on boot I can pick any of them to run. If you are using GRUB bootloader everything is done for you in the menu.lst by the installer. LILO...sorry I am not sure..maybe /sbin/lilo -vto re-install lilo..grub no need to anything. As su go check before you REBOOT to use new kernel... /boot/grub/menu.lst...or.../etc/lilo.confto see if what I said is true...depending on your bootloader. Also check the entries in /boot .will see your new kernel there. Actually it is as easy as this to install a kernel...no sweat. ..hope so??? Well if you should do a full update there is some issues of missing menus and some missing apps. The menus may be rectified by.update-menus -v Missing apps - re-install. If you want to safely change from one loader to the other...lilo grub... Pop in cd 1 and reboot.. Do as if install but pick upgrade...then go through motions as required but when you reach the choices list of hardware/printer/region/etc ...make sure they are correct but for the loader ( about second last one) of list pick grub or lilo...then continue. Well I like grubcan do with it on boot that is impossible with lilo.
