Changing my kernel
I'm using a Gentoo, I tried to upgrade my kernel, I downloaded two files provided by the company that provides my dedicated server, bzImage-2.6.24.5-xxxx-std-ipv6-32 and System.map-2.6.24.5-xxxx-std-ipv6-32 to the boot directory. Assume these are the right files for my equipment but if you can't find any problems below, I may have to check that again.
I made a symbolic link in /boot for System.map-2.6.24.5-xxxx-std-ipv6-32 called System.map My system uses LILO, I edited /etc/lilo.conf to this: Quote:

Did you remember to run
Code:
lilo |
Yup. I ran that and then restarted, wasn't sure I had to do both but did anyway to make sure.

Then run lilo verbosely to see what it does: Code:
/sbin/lilo -v |
According to the output, it all went swimmingly...

Well, since lilo.conf looks ok, I can only think that who compiled that kernel has forgotten to change the extraversion from .5-xxxx-grs-ipv4-32 to .5-xxxx-std-ipv6-32. You can use strings to check the kernel version:
Code:
strings /boot/bzImage-2.6.24.5-xxxx-std-ipv6-32|grep 2.6.24.5 |
thanks bathory.
Code:
# strings /boot/bzImage-2.6.24.5-xxxx-std-ipv6-32 | grep 2.6.24.5 |
Doh!!
Change lilo.conf to the bare essentials: Code:
