I should also mention that, if you want to install a new kernel without
overwriting the old kernel and modules (/boot/kernel.old/), "make
reinstallkernel". It replaces the existing kernel instead of renaming the
kernel directory to kernel.old. I find this very handy, but it is poorly
documented. So, if you want to install GENERIC and not lose your last
working kernel, "make reinstallkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC". That will blow
away the bad kernel and modules and install GENERIC. Note that it does not
touch the /usr/obj directory that PUMPKIN is built in, so PUMPKIN and
similarly be reinstalled.
Hi,
Thanks for trying to help - as you say, it's quite poorly documented.
I'd document it if I had more of as clue what I was doing.
Do you know how to get the process to respect MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER=32 ?
(I mean I'm happy to have to put everything on one line rather than
setting variables in src.conf or make.conf, it's just that it used to
work and now does not, so am interested in *The Right Way*(tm) to do
what I'm trying to do).
Many thanks,
