It is in the standard 2.6.8-12mdk kernel for Mandrake 10.1 If it is not loading try putting 3x-9xxx in the file /etc/modprobe.preload Or perhaps you could try the 3w- driver.

Re: [newbie] Kernel 2.6.11 upgrade.
After installing the mandrake package for kernel 2.6.11, the only problem seems to be the network. I get this error: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unholy]# service network start Setting network parameters: [ OK ] Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ] Bringing up interface eth1: driverloader device eth1 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization. [FAILED] driverloader is a service that loads the drivers for my pcmcia network card. I installed it when I was using the old kernel so maybe the new kernel needs to be made aware of it's presence. But I dont know how to do that. Thanks for listening, Jarlath Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com

I have a fairly standard laptop setup, so I think the standard kernel you linked will be fine. Well, I had thought I implied that your chances of success with a 2.6.11 kernel on older Mandrake versions were questionable. That it would be better to wait a bit an install 10.2 if you need a 2.6.11 kernel. OTOH, if you install the kernel with -ivh, it will go in along side your current kernel, which you then can always fall back to if the new kernel fails. Laptop, adds in another question mark. Many reports on cooker that 2.6.11 fails on some laptops. Mostly an i686/i586 issue. The only work around right now AFAIK is to try the i586 specific kernel. (I've never had a laptop) ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrake/devel/cooker/i586/media/main/kernel-i586-up-1GB-2.6.11.2mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm In explanation; while Mandrake is still primarily an i586 architecture distro, many things like glibc and the 'normal' kernel are compiled for 1686 to take advantage of that optimization and 686 specific cpu flags. Many laptop, C(yrix)-3 processors, and some others are not true i686 systems. C-3's aren't even true i586. The 10.2 installer has been modified to blacklist these systems an install the i586 kernel. 'Course if you install a 10.2 kernel on an older Mdk version, this protection is not afforded. Type 'arch' in a console and press Enter, it'll probly return 'i686'. That only means that the cpu/cache reports itself as 686 architecture the system might not really be i686. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

The important bit being to _i_nstall (-ivh), rather than U_pgrade (-Uvh) the kernel. Since it's cooker, if there's any problem, you can always just re-boot an run your existing kernel. OTOH, you didn't say if you need a SMP (more than one processor), a Hi-Mem (1 gig of ram or more), or any other special requirements. In any of those cases, or if you just wanna compile from source to better ensure the kernel's compatibility with your older Mandrake version. You'll need the source, install with 'rpm -Uvh kern Tab ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrake/devel/cooker/i586/media/main/kernel-source-2.6-2.6.11-2mdk.i586.rpm (45MB) Holler back if you want to compile, it's really fairly simple. OTOH, beware that due to Linus/OSDL security an other enhancements, the newest kernels will inhibit many actions that now seem transparent to the user, and require changes in many GUI's (CD burning for example). Many processes are handled differently, an to tell the truth, I have no idea what impact that will have using a 2.6.11-mdk on past Mandrake versions. Sufficiently discouraged? Depends on how adventurous you are ;) Or you can wait just a bit. Cooker 10.2 RC2 iso's should be available within a week or so ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrake/devel/iso/i586 and you could install 10.2 RC2 an keep it upgraded with cooker media sources until it becomes 10.2 Community.

RE: [newbie] Kernel SOurce
Hi guys, thanks for the responses. I checked in /usr/src/linux before I wrote to the list and there were no symlinks and there were no /usr/src/name_of_kernel-source.mdk either. I went back to my install of 10.0 and verified that it should be there so I am assuming that even though I selected to install kernel sources, it didn't.

The kernel-source-2.x.x.rpm file is the one you want for building other files which depend on the kernel header files - that's the source code that was actually used to build the kernel, in a ready to install module. What you do with that source is pretty much up to you. The kernel-2.x.x.src.rpm file is used to actually build the RPM's which make up the kernels for your system PLUS the kernel-source RPM.

If you're current kernel's .config (in /boot) shows
CONFIG_EDD=y then 'tech staff' is wrong. Otherwise..
Install the kernel-source rpm for your kernel if it isn't
already. Search it's .config and and if the line looks somethin
like# CONFIG_EDD is not set , remove the leading hash
(ie, uncomment the line) and edit it to CONFIG_EDD=y
Save that .config to a another, eg, .config.save ... and after
moving it back into .config after the 'make
mrproper' (mandatory) first step, then 'make oldconfig' and
continue with the steps to compile a new kernel.
make make modules_install make install
The last step is only fully productive if you first edited
Makefile before compiling, changed the EXTRAVERSION = (new_name),
and uncommented the line (about 460 somethin),
export INSTALL_PATH=/boot
Then the files and links needed are created in /boot, lilo (and
grub) is edited and run for you to make the new kernel an option
on boot. Your new kernel will not be the default, you'll have to
choose it on booting up.

First. Thanks for your detailed instructions. Some of it is still a foreign language
to me.
The following command which I got from another list shows this..
find . -type f -exec grep CONFIG_EDD {} \; -print
CONFIG_EDD=y
./config-2.6.3-7mdk
CONFIG_EDD=y
./config-2.6.3-15mdk
CONFIG_EDD=y
./config-2.6.3-16mdk
uname -r
2.6.3-16mdk
I am running the last kernel. Then I suppose they must be wrong??
But it is not the kernel 2.6.5 or later as suggested. Should that make a difference??
Thanks

Now go to the Mandrake Install GUI at MenuSystemConfigurationPackagingInstallSoftware and enter kernel in the search box. You will see a whole list of possible kernels. The latest kernel for a standard 10.0 system is kernel-2.6.3.16mdk-1-1mdk.i586 Install the kernel. New kernels are installed alongside existing kernels. The new kernel will become the default boot kernel and a new boot menu item will allow you to boot the old kernel if you wish.

Re: [newbie] Kernel upgrade and IPv6 default
I'm already running with nolapic because of some issues with my mobo not playing nice, so no luck there. There doesn't seem to me to be any disernable difference between running the one kernel and the other, it's just that the new kernel doesn't work. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Kernel 2.6.3-8 marked as not available in mirror?
Thanks for the tips on the kernel install. I have installed them many times. What was curious about the behavior of Mandrake Update in this case is that unlike the behavior in the past, the kernel source was never shown in the update list. In the past, whenever a new bugfix kernel was released, the kernel source would show up in the updates list, prompting the user to install it, then follow that with the installation of the appropriate kernel as you described. The presence of the kernel source was always a good flag that new kernels were available for installation. That didn't happen this time. The other curious thing is that the comments section of the description of the kernels and kernel source (2.6.3-8) read not available. In the past, this section held a description of the kernel, and information as to the bugs corrected by the package. None of this information is there on these kernels. I'd like to know if these are valid kernels, were they released as bug fixes, and why they are described as unavailable. There is something strange about these kernel packages.

I don't know where it installed to and it hasn't appeared as an option in my boot configuration. Did you inspect your /etc/lilo.conf file to see if a stanza was added for the new kernel? Did you do a lilo -v (you don't need the -v option, but I like to see what's going on as the config is processed) from a terminal as root after installing the new kernel, to write the new lilo to disk? If you didn't do the above, and a stanza was properly added to your lilo.conf file when you installed the kernel, that's why it didn't show up in your lilo list of installed kernels.

That was one of the 'issues' with 9.2, that the kernel sources were not included
on the CD's. You gotta get them from a urpmi source ('main', IIRC). Should be a
bit of a download for yer 56K :-\

Re: [newbie] Kernel update woes
Hi, I experienced exactly the same when updating from 2.4.22-26 to 2.4.22-28. I searched the web and this list looking for answers and I found none. After several attepmts to run 'lilo' with different options (all unsuccessful with the same error message), I decided to be brave (I have a full back up of my system) and rebooted. To my surprise, all went well, but the system started with the old kernel. I guess this is because, as lilo failed, nothing was changed. So I think the links in /boot are used by LILO to update the boot loader, but the real paths to kernel, etc, are used in the boot loader. Then I entered 'lilo -v' (after changing all links in /boot to point to the new kernel), and this time there was no error. One more reboot and now I am running the latest kernel.

Re: [newbie] Kernel update woes
I tried kernels using urpmi also, but have reverted to the way I did them for years... Download and install the kernel sources for the new kernel. Download the rpm's for whichever variety of kernel(s) you want. Logon as root and install the rpms. Open etc/lilo.conf with an editor and make sure the stanza is there for every new kernel. Open a terminal as root and issue a lilo -v command. Reboot and try out the new kernels. If you are satisfied that the new kernel operates correctly, open lilo.conf again and change the default boot entry to the *label* of the kernel you want to boot as a default. As root, open a terminal and issue lilo -v That's all there is to it. Rick Kunath Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
