Thanks, Todd. I guess I must have missed something when trying to do 2.5 kernels on 9.0- it's back to the drawing board for me, now that I know it can be done. BTW, did you like the results of running a 2.5 kernel on 9.0? In other words, was it worth the trouble in terms of performance vs. any

I found both the multimedia 2.4.21 rpms and srpm in the regular ibiblio contribs mirror. Does anyone know if those indeed have the preemptive patch, or is there a different version in the Club? Also, what exactly is the difference between the multimedia and stock versions? Also found a "mosix"

Thanks for the info guys. Very interesting, and now I know it can be done. Maybe I'll give it a try from a 2.5.65 from kernel.org first, just to see if I can master the procedure. I did succeed with the 2.4.20 + patches, and I have rebuilt the 2.4.21-pre4 srpm for athlon-xp, and that worked too.

2003-03-27 Thread flacycads
Are we going to be able to get a 2.5.xx kernel compiled with Mandrake 9.1? I gave up trying to compile a 2.5 kernel on 9.0, as apparently too many needed items were missing and/or unavailable (not to mention I'm not exactly an expert at this stuff). I figured with the newer glibc and gcc it may b
