Re: [expert] New linux kernel for mdk9

[J. Grant]

Hi Vincent and others,

Thanks for the help so far.

After rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.21-0.13mdk I have found even though I am not 
booting it, my system is not stable.  in X/KDE the whole system has 
crashed twice today when loading ~30MB text files.  Which never happend 
before.  I can not ssh in to reboot, nothing is responsive except 
sysrq+alt+shift+ctrl etc, so i sync, unmount, reBoot again.

this is the line I use to boot.

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19-16mdk
        label=linux2.4.19
        root=/dev/hde2
        read-only
        optional
        vga=normal
        append=" devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi"
        initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.19-16mdk.img
Oddly USB is working slightly better than it used to with this kernel today!

Is there any reason my my computer could be crashing frequently in the 
old, working kernel?

I also have been trying to get kernel-2.4.21-0.13mdk running ok, as an 
alternative, so I booted into kernel-2.4.21-0.13mdk then:

Some things I can not install though

[EMAIL PROTECTED] now3d]# rpm -ivh kernel-source-2.4.21-0.13mdk.i586.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)   is needed by kernel-source-2.4.21-0.13mdk
[EMAIL PROTECTED] now3d]# rpm -e kernel-headers-2.4.18-41mdk
error: removing these packages would break dependencies:
        kernel-headers   is needed by glibc-devel-2.2.5-16mdk
        kernel-headers >= 2.2.1 is needed by glibc-devel-2.2.5-16mdk
I did not want to break it, so I have not installed them.  I wanted to 
install them so I can rpm --rebuild the nvidia kernel driver so X will 
work..

Cheers

JG
