I downloaded the kernel-source_2.0.33-7.deb package and installed it on my 1.3.1r6 system. (I needed the fat32 patch). I now understand why I had trouble patching kernel sources from .deb packages, because they have already been patched, so patch tried to REMOVE the patch instead of INSTALLING them. The system previously had the 2.0.29 kernel installed from the rescue disk at the time of the install.
Here's what I noticed.... /etc/lilo.config contained the line image=/vmlinuz. /vmlinuz was symlink /vmlinuz->/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.29 After compiling the new kernel ( make menuconfig ; make dep ; make clean ; make zImage ; make modules ; make install) the link at /boot/vmlinuz was /boot/vmlinuz->vmlinuz-2.0.33. Lilo had run but the OLD kernel still booted until I made the link /vmlinuz-> /boot/vmlinuz. Then the new kernel would boot, and all was correct each time I might re-compile the kernel and make install to run lilo. IE: The symbolic link created at /vmlinuz when the system was installed was not consistant with what the make install option expected. Has this been fixed for hamm? ( Or have I missed something here?) Anyway thanks for the updated kernel. Is there a text file somewheres that lists all the patches that have been applied in a given .deb kernel package for the given revision of that kernel (IE: whats different between the .deb package and the .orig source files)? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
