Re: [newbie] upgrade kernel?
Various. Missing packages and libs mainly. But dad is already annoyed that I took 4 gig of his drive for linux and he wont let me have any more. I have 1 gig free and I will need that for temp files and cd images when I get my cdrw working. - Original Message - From: Paul Rodríguez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, February 18, 2001 11:41 PM Subject: RE: [newbie] upgrade kernel? > What problems are you having when you try to compile. > > -Paul R > > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of goldenpi > Sent: Sunday, February 18, 2001 6:06 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [newbie] upgrade kernel? > > > Can a kernal be upgraded through rpms? or does it need to be compiled?

Re: [newbie] upgrade kernel?
for compile anything you want you'll need : -- compiler gcc (and some libs for making dependences of rpm's packages) --- kernel -headers -- kernel-source (from kernel you actually you have installed) -- the source files you want to compile -- another libs what depends on what the headers (from the source files you want to compile) need. You'll need to compile a new kernel when the new thing you want to add to is not possible to insert as a module. or when the new thing is essential during boot (for example filesystem suport for ext2fs ) Paul Rodríguez wrote: > What problems are you having when you try to compile. > > -Paul R > > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of goldenpi > Sent: Sunday, February 18, 2001 6:06 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [newbie] upgrade kernel? > > Can a kernal be upgraded through rpms? or does it need to be compiled?

[newbie] upgrade kernel?
Can a kernal be upgraded through rpms? or does it need to be compiled? I have trouble with compileing anything, and I need a new kernal to upgrade alsa to (hopefully) get sound which will (hopefuly)let me watch dvds.

Actually it's ODD #'d kernels (using the middle digit) that are developmental and even that are stable. So 2.3.x is developmental while 2.2.x is stable. The lefthand digit is really just a patch #, I believe.

Re: [newbie] Upgrade kernel
Keep in mind that even numbered 2.2.16 kernels are developmental and odd numbered kernels are considered stable. It is quite possible 2.2.16 will not support your machine.

Re: [newbie] Upgrade kernel
Where did you get the new kernel from, and how did you install it? A Mandrake kernel installed as an RPM should have no problems with Supermount. AFAIK, only Mandrake has Supermount in their kernels (correct me if I'm wrong). If you compiled from sources, or used a non-Mandrake kernel, then there's a chance that you don't have Supermount compiled into the kernel. In that case, the easiest solution is to upgrade to the latest Mandrake kernel, currently 2.2.17. Otherwise, you could wait for 2.4 (again, get a Mandrake version), which is due in December (provided that Linus meets his own deadline).

[newbie] Upgrade kernel
I've just upgrade my Mandrake 7.0 kernel into 2.2.16. After boot up, my supermount feature doesn't work. It complains that the kernel doesn't support it. What compilling options should I choose to enable this feature? -kz-

[newbie] Upgrade + Kernel ?
If I upgrade to the 6.0 of Mandrake from 5.3, Will I lose my kernel I took so long to compile?? Will it overwrite the new Kernel I have? I am running on the 2.2.9 kernel and also have a backup for the 2.0.36 Kernel. I do not want to lose all the hell and anguish I have gone through to get it working.
