hi list: I have Debian (Sarge) installed on an iBook G3 (White book), the kernel is now 2.6.8, I downloaded 2.6.17.2 from kernel.org, would anybody tell me how to upgrade?
The downloaded file is: patch-2.6.16.2, the content starts with these: diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index 1700d3f..7b3837f 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ VERSION = 2 PATCHLEVEL = 6 SUBLEVEL = 17 -EXTRAVERSION = +EXTRAVERSION = .2 NAME=Crazed Snow-Weasel The reason that I want to upgrade kernel is that the audio driver doesn't work, so I see the speaker logo at the upper-right but no sound could be played at all. I ran the following three commands: modprobe soundcore dmasound_core dmasound_pmac modprobe dmasound_core dmasound_pmac modprobe dmasound_pmac And the 3rd one returned error: FATAL: Error inserting dmasound_pmac (/lib/modules/2.6.8-powerpc/kernel/sound/oss/dmasound/dmasound_pmac.ko): No such device Kernel upgrade was recommended for fixing this error.
