Is anybody having trouble updating their kernal=20
I have a G3 series PB and i'm currently running YDL 1.2 on it. Every =
time i try to go out and update to the newest kernal it will not modify =
the mod settings to recognize the new one. =20
How do i fix this problem?
Okay, assuming you've download a new kernel and extracted it in
/usr/src/<whatever>, it sounds like you're copying the .config file from
your old kernel into the new directory, which is a good start. It's usually
best to leave the directory name reflecting the version of the kernel and
make "/usr/src/linux" a symbolic link to that directory -- either way, you
have to make sure /usr/include/asm and /usr/include/linux (and any others)
point into the new directory.
Now, in the new directory, run "make oldconfig" and it should update the
.config file for the new version. Along the way, it will prompt you for
settings on new options that weren't in the old kernel. You can usually
just hit return for the default values until you're done.
Then you should be able to "make dep" and "make vmlinux" once you've
finished with the configuration.
Before you boot with the new kernel, though, make sure you run "make
modules" and "make modules-install" -- unless you've made it monolithic with
no module support.
