Re: Upgrading the kernel

there is a good how to at the linux document project; it is not RH specific, but it showed me enough to get on the right path to greater problems... I am finding that kernel upgrading is tricky. http://www.tldp.org/Kernel-HOWTO/index.html G On Wed, 2003-07-09 at 19:59, Go, Jeffrey wrote: Hi

Upgrading 7.1 kernel problem

Problem upgrading the kernel

Hi, I am trying to upgrade the kernel to kernel-2.2.16-3. I did it like this: [root@host RPMS]# rpm -Uvh kernel-source-2.2.16-3.i386.rpm kernel-headers-2.2.16-3.i386.rpm kernel-source ## kernel-headers

Re: Problem upgrading the kernel

Try using -U instead of -i. It looks like rpm is saying it can't install because it already exists...howerver, -U is upgrade...which may very well work. Also, instead of /boot/vmlinux-2.2.16-3, see if /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-3 exists...if so, change the "Boot image:" line to read vmlinuz, instead.

Re: Problem upgrading the kernel

No, what they're saying is that the entry in lilo.conf is incorrect. It needs to by vmlinuz-2.2.16-3, unless you've made a symlink from vmlinuz-2.2.16-3 to vmlinux-2.2.16-3. On Wednesday 31 January 2001 06:38, Toms Garca Ferrari opined: Then I add in /etc/lilo.conf this:

Ups...! You've got me! ;) Thank you! Tomas Garcia Ferrari Bigital http://bigital.com And I repeat...your "Boot image:" line is pointing to /boot/vmlinux-2.2.16-3. Lilo is complaining that that kernel file is too big. Edit the "Boot image:" line to read "/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-3" so that

something wrong? If not, then is it possible to get it to keep the existing config so i don't have to try and remember all the options i chose. Any other tips would be appreciated as this is my first attempt at rebuilding and upgrading a kernel under linux. Jamie Carl [EMAIL PROTECTED] Technical

Re: Upgrading the kernel..

I asked myself the same question. And since I could not find the answer, what I did to keep the same config is : - unpack redhat kernel source rpm - did make xconfig- Save config to file : myconfig - cp myconfig - new kernel source - did make xconfig in the new kernel source - Load config
