I know this is old hat, but due to a bug in the 2.6 kernel and the
megaraid driver I can boot a 2.6 kernel....2.4 works fine, but I have to
add NIC modules for me Asus board, Realtek 8110 and a Marvel sk98lin.
The std one (sk89lin) in debian 2.4.27-4 does not work and there isnt
one I can find for the 8110.
Anyway, I think I have downloaded all the things I need to compile a
debianised kernel the kernel packager way.
I have applied the modules/patch for the asus motherboard's on-board
NIC, but what I cant find so far is how to get a 2.4.27 kernel source to
2.4.27-4....ie there would seem to be a need to apply some debianised
kernel patches applied to the 2.4 deb source package I downloaded? or is
it already patched?
I am having difficulty finding how to do this...I ran this command,
=============
debian:/usr/src# cd linux
debian:/usr/src/linux# ../kernel-patches/all/2.4.27/apply/debian
Nothing to do, exiting.
=============
and as you can see it seems to say its Ok, so have im missed something?
how to check the 2.4.27 has indeed been upgraded to 2.4.27-4? before I
compile?
The second Q is, anybody got an idea how to remove the std megaraid_mbox
driver from 2.6 and install a 3rd party one (where from?) that works? I
think this raid card is/was a Dell one, but I got it second hand at an
auction, so Im not sure....
regards
Steven
