Hi All, Has anyone tried the 2.6 kernel with V4.0 ? Since there seems to be a number of issues with the current 2.4.22; ??? networking (kudzu, neat) ??? applications (GCompris, OO, Netscape ) that I have tested and had "crash/close" with no information, messages. I thought it might be an idea to explore the next major kernel? release, since I value the suggestions and comment of this group I'm throwing this out ..... (BTW Julius I've also spent the weekend through 'till today configuring 3 K12LTSP servers with their workstations, granted my experience/knowledge is limited with K12 but this new version is doing a lot of strange things. Jim - this is NOT a critique of your fine work!) norbert mellax pm ee wrote: From: "Jim Kronebusch" <jim winonacotter org> I will finish the tests on the existing hardware and on the new box just to determine if this is a hardware or a software issue.I tried compile my own kernel from preinstalled sources. Compilation was OK but server crashes again after 5 hour working with normal load. Now I stopped messing with preisntalled 2.4.22 and use my own 2.4.23 kernel. So far so good. Uptime 6 hours. I found solution for wine - precompiled binaries not working with 2.4.23 kernel. I compile wine from sources. Looks solution for me. At least it works on test server.I however have no idea how to exchange kernels but I do have a linux for dummies book (that is me) and will try the kernel swap after that.It very simple but need some time :) 1. download kernel sources to /usr/src (i use .tar.gz) 2. Unpack it (i use "tar zxvf linux-2.4.23.tar.gz") 3. cd to your unpacked kernel souces dir (and all commands give here). 4. make mrproper 5. copy your existing kernel conf here and rename it .config (i found existing conf /boot/config-2.4.22-1.2135.nptlsmp) 6. make oldconf (and anwer any questions with ENTER (default). Also, if you have SMP, answer 8 to processor count) 7. edit Makefile and remove comment "export INSTALL_PATH=/boot". Also edit your favourite "extraversion" 8. make dep clean bzImage (and be sure it ends without errors) 9. make modules (and be sure it ends without errors) 10. make modules_install (and be sure it ends without errors) 11. Copy /usr/src/yourkernel/arch/i386/boot/bzImage to /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.23-1 (put your favoutite kernel name here) 12. Maybe you need "mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.23-1.img 1.4.23-1" (put your new kernel module folder name here from /lib/modules/) I don't need initrd, because controller and ext3 drivers are compiled to kernel (not as modules) 13. write new section to /boot/grub/grub.conf (do not chandge default kernel) 14. Reboot and choose new kernel. (if it works, try customize your kernel with "make menuconfig") Thats it. _______________________________________________ K12OSN mailing list K12OSN redhat com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn For more info see <http://www.k12os.org> |
