Nope, it's "X Windows" ;) In Slack 10.1, I believe that X.Org is used. So, best title for that section is either "X Windows" or "X.org" or possibly "GUI"

I get one line run out of the table, and thats part of a new rc.local, so it doesn't matter to me. (Firefox 1.0.1, WinXP)

Ok took a long long read and has a major question. I have this system running like a top. CUPs to print, sound working display to 1280x1024 nVidia GeForce 2 MX 400 no nVidia Drivers. Slackware 10.1 using Reiserjfs as the format for my 30gb drive and also the jfs.s bizimage as it seems to be the only one that works like a champ here. Tried many other formats but none seemed to do what they should and the reiserjfs seems to be the pref for this system. Will the new Kernal understand this or hose my system and make my drive a 528MB drive? I would dl ths and do all that is said but it makes me concerned that since I am using this format it may not like the jfs.s image I am using. Any help, would be much appreciated.

Keeps the old Kernel and does not remove for Error reasons posted in the readme. The issue is the few modules that are made, are I guess still in the system, this causes some errors.



I have found all the reiserfs settings and makes it a part of the kernel, the other items are modules, since they are not actually a full part of the system.
My Main Modules are

ext2
ext3
jfs
xfs
alsa
oss

These are all I want as modules.



Is this in the /usr/src like you state? or the /usr/src/linux-2.6.11.X ?? This is where I get lost terribly. I thiink it's just me being upset after I get several errors on the complie. I have all the most recent updates, slapt-get and using all the -current slackware updates. PHP 5.05 and also X11 6.2.8, all from the slackware-current.

Thank you very much for this response. I have tried several Kernels from 2.4.30 to 2.6.11.7 (current) and my default is 2.4.29. Each time I do this, I go through and adjust for the resierfs and also no power management, thta is one of the crashes. The next part is in another area of the kernel. Oddly it only happens inthe make menuconfig, not inthe xconfig, and I will try the gconfig next.

I successfully made a good build in the Linux 2.6.11.7 recently but somehow it did not make the 2.6.11.7 links correctly, and this was with the xconfig. I have found the right NIC settings finally. I am still working out some details on the errors and why the are there. So far it seems that it builds it correctly, with

Make menuconfig
Make
Make Install
Make modules_instlall

Everything goes just right, excepting if I forget to disable things I do not have enabled on the hardware, it crashes it. There is only one area that I have not been able to get to sstop erroring.

Here, maybe you can tell me what or where this is.

errors in intermodule.o
Kernel Intermodule 179 Intermodule Register - is depreciated - declared at kernel intermodule.c 38
Kernel Intermodule 180 Intermodule UnRegister - is depreciated - declared at kernel intermodule.c 79
Kernel Intermodule 183 Intermodule Put - is depreciated - declared at kernel intermodule.c 160

I have not beenable to find anything regarding these errors, and everytime I get these errors, the whole system crashes.

Hopes you can make heads or tails of this. I tried to detail it better here.

piete-

Nice site. I really like the layout.

BenneJezzerette-

This seems very odd. You are using Reiser for your filesystem. I believe that is supported by bare.i. Possibly there is some other hardware that is causing the issue. Using "diff" on the jfs kernel config and the bare.i kernel config will help you out a bunch, since it must be one of those differences that makes jfs work for you. You'll need to know what is needed when you compile your own kernel.

You understand that the "jfs.s image" you asre using is a kernel? When you install your own kernel, you will not be using the "jfs.s image" anymore. There can be no conflict if it is not used.

The onlything that I can add to this is that I like to make sure that /etc/lilo.config is set to prompt (otherwise, it's harder to choose the backup kernels) and I would switch the order of entries. The only reason is that the first entry is the default selection. I prefer to make my newest entry the default so I can fire up the computer unattended and still use the newest kernel. If the newest kernel is busted, you will be there anyway, so you can select one of the backups. That's just personal preference, though.

Can you help with this then???

Kernel Intermodule 179 Intermodule Register is depreciated Declared at Kernel Intermodule.c39
Kernel Intermodule 180 Intermodule Un-Register is depreciated Declared at Kernel Intermodule.c79
Kernel Intermodule 183 Intermodule Put is depreciated Declared at Kernel Intermodule.c160

This is the error I get when Icomplle it, this happens on every Kernel from 2.6 to 2.6.11.7, and has never been fixed or answered. I have tried everything to make this go away, and nothing. I am going to do a new make manuconfig and write everything I do and change in it here. Maybe then someone can see what I do wrong, or what I am missing.

Useful tips

Trim quotes.

Copy and paste error messages. Their easier to Google than when you manually type them.

Try this first

Downgrade gcc to the stock 10.1 version.


***EDIT***

You should also make a new thread. Not everyone rteads this thread to see what new problems people are having.

***2ND EDIT***

This is not a problem.

Re: Kernel Comiple Errors
 

I didn't read the thread to see why you're posting all this,
but will tell you that your method of CONFIGURING the kernel
is wrong. Linus Torvalds has written a fine little HOW-TO that
you can read at ./linux-2.6.11.7/README that will explain the
proper way to install, configure, and compile a kernel from
source.

I still do not understand why people think it necessary to try
and "reinvent the wheel" when Linus has taken the time to
post The Correct Way (TM) and It Just Works (TM)

Re: Re: Kernel Comiple Errors
 

Please note the README is a generic install for this. I have had tons of problems with all of the 2.6.X Linux Kernels and has posted the errors I get and yet no one can tell me what or where they are. Ihave had only one successful working one, but no NIC setup. So that was not even right. I have even done just a base setup and get kernel panic. Can't boot due to some stupid thing like disk format. Iuse Reiserfs and it needs to be setup. Many of the things yousay are in the README are not, it is a 6 page printout and has nothing in it regarding what is what when installing any of the new Linux 2.6.x kernels. If I make it and make module and make install and all that, it hoses my system, I am not setup as a General user, but Custom because that is what works for me. General is for hardware that is mainstream not off the shelf. I buy off the shelf, and build myself. These are the settings I had and they still did not work. One note, the base install would give me about 500 errors due to no SCSI devices installed. No IEE 1394 installed, the Power Management is not setup. So many things would just totally crash the build and then have to re boot wioth disc 2 for emergency boots. Please read the GENERAL installs, they just mention the how too's not the details. This is details so I can get some help in determining wher the heck this 3 line error is.

BenneJezzerette,

You've got too much here to really talk about. As Shiloh said,
start a new thread.

My point is that Linus tells us how to compile a custom kernel,
and with 2.6.x the steps are:
"make menuconfig" Text based color menus, radiolists & dialogs.
or "make xconfig" X windows (Qt) based configuration tool.
or "make gconfig" X windows (Gtk) based configuration tool.
or "make oldconfig"
"make"
( It is also possible to do "make install" if you have lilo installed to suit the
kernel makefiles, but you may want to check your particular lilo setup first.)
"make modules_install"

Ok let me try, try to get you to understand. If I do any of those, and just leave the items alone, don't touch the power configuration, or the IEEE1394 settings, or the NETWORK settings then all I get is Kernel Panic. can not load Kernel some other stuff that makes the entire system un usable. Such as last nght. I followed your So dilligent instructions and Boom, no more System and a 528MB Hard Drive. Seems to me I understand more of what i am doing than you. Now the Post was all of what I did not a config file or somehting I could copy and paste, that is a Hand Written and typed in setup that I used make menuconfig, and wrote down all the things I modified, or left default. I understand G X and Make old and all that, what I don't understand is why someone like you is missing the ENTIRE point of, What am I doing wrong on that setup to make 3 errors come up that I have already posted and does not let the system even boot? Seems that no one can even come up with any assemblance of an answer. All my situation is, I do all of the instructions all of you have posted, the thing thta is missed is, what changes or modifications are made to make the compile to, and if Iuse the Hardware I have in the compile, then what is wrong with that? EG: Processor Type, it is default to a Pentium 4 or Pentium Class Machine, I have an AMD K6-2 500 w/ 3D Now! Why would I leave the Processor to a Pentium 4 system, when I don't have one? Any good Technician knows the difference a P4 has to an AMD K6-2. Then there is Symmetrical Processor, it is default to 8, I have one. Why leave it to something I don't have, Raid, I have no Raid System, yet I should leave it on? Why? What is the Sense of having a Raid system when I have one Hard Drive at 30GB and one Hard drive at 4GB? All HDD's in a Raid system have to be of the same configuration, not so widely different. It's the way things are. So if there is anyone that can explain to me why Ishould leave all this on, when I don't have it installed, please tell me.

I think you are the one who is not understanding.

You have a problem with compiling a kernel.

Make a new thread.

Ok if I don't understand then Iam doing it wrong because I followed the instructions here and tht is why Idid it wrong, I have 3 printouts of the instructions, the readme too. I follow them to the letter, and make no changes, to teh actual kernel, then make it, it crashes. Why if my hardware is not what is defauklt in the config, do I want to leave it that way. Read the post, Iam sure no one will answer it, because they can't
there is an wrror and if I am making it, it is because I followed your instructions from here.

Printed and read several tiimes, then took the chance and crash. Tried something a little different, changed the hardware information and got close to working. Read the post carefully because it asks some very important questions, like if I don't have it, why should it be enabled, if it's not there? If there is a device I do not have installed, then shoudl it be enabled even though I don't have it? EG IEE1394, I have no IEEE1394 Adapters or connections of thta type on my system, should it be enabled, even though Idon't have it on the system?

When I do i get kernel panic.

You are not starting a new thread.

I didn't bother to read past that line. You are of course free to do whatever you want. If you want help, I would recommend that your choice be...

...Start a new thread. It has been said several times. If you don't want to follow the recommendations that others are giving, you are greatly limiting the amount of support you will get.

You want people who come to this thread to see your (as yet non-existant) new thread? Post a link to it.

Reading farther into your thread as I type,

Reading various posts that you have made, and considering that you seem to be having an issue with Kernel compiling, I can only comment that it does not appear that you are using the method I outline in this thread for compiling your kernel.

To expand on that, I never use or or or any of the other methods that can be used for compiling a new kernel. Do you? I can only guess. Reading other posts you have made leads me to believe that you don not use That is the method that I recommend. You are not following that method I use. Why not...

...start a new thread.

What config? Where do those "defaults" come from? They come from somewhere. Here's an exercise for you that you can maybe learn something from. Start a regular X session. Fire up a terminal. If you're not root, become root. cd to the linux source directory. Issue the following command:

I'm sure you've done that before. Now, the interesting part. switch back to your terminal and read what it says. It pulled in a config file. The vanilla kernel source does not have a config file. The options that you see are a result of the config file that was parsed. If you want to call that default, fine, but you will find that "default" will vary depending on the system that you run this on. Get it? Don't want to go through all the menus making a bunch of wrong choices (which is apparently what you are doing)? Load a different config file.

Wow. I think I just did.

Wow. I just went searching on this forum for any post you might have that would give a better idea what you are doing. Nice to see that you DID make another post today.

The first question that comes to mind... does having the bad attitude usually work for you? Blame everyone else. You are the one who has a busted method, and thus, a busted system.

Your problems are your own. You DIDN'T follow the instructions here, or you wouldn't have had to do a fresh install because your 2.6 kernel didn't work. You'd simply boot your 2.4 kernel and try again.

Real simple conclusion to all your ranting. Hope someone helps you. I won't.

Shilo:

Yes I did read all the things, everything several posted xconfig, some gconfig and the read me says the same thing.

The defaults are what is in the sorce information,. Take a look one time. extract the filles to some directory that won't affect your system. then run any form of the config you want. Look carefully at teh screens where the Checkmarks are. Or the [M] are. on th xconfig it is a dot. Now in it, check the Processor family, it defaults to a Pentium 4 system. Then look at the IEEE1394 and tell me it is not enabled by default. Then get back to me.

Here is me, helping you even though you clearly have way too much attitude.

Did you even follow my last set of instructions? If so, you would have realized that you are probably loading arch/i386/defconfig. Well, let's think about this for just a second. Why would that file have stuff that is gonna work for you? It clearly does not. Have you ever had a kernel work for you? Which one? From your rambling posts jfs.s works for you. Load that config!!! If you don't have a copy of the stock Slackware config file for jfs.s, then just go to any Slackware mirror and find it. Another big hint, it's called kernels/jfs.s/config.

Now you are starting with something that works for your system. Breaking that is 100% up to you.

Note that none of this really matters. You can also just make all the right choices when compiling your kernel. I've already made a lengthy post about all the options that I chose in the past called "Something for kernel compilers". Use the search function to find it. It's all about the very thing that you claim no one has ever covered. How to make all the right choices when compiling your kernel.

Here's another trick. From the linux kernel source directory, remove .config (since it doesn't work anyway). Now, copy over a working config to .config (again, for you that would be the config for jfs.s). now type "make oldconfig". It will only ask you questions about options that weren't available in the 2.4 kernel but now are. There are usually less than 20. "?" is the most useful answer. When you are all done, then "make xconfig" for any fine-tuning.

Note you have other issues. Namely, you are somehow not being prompted for kernel selection at boot time. You should figure out why, since it has been covered ad naseum on this forum. Then, when you mess up a kernel compile, you won't have to re-install.

Goddamn! IT IS CALLED "X Window"!!!

Read them and I have to say I am very leary of even considering this now. Your help has been top notch, be sure. Now, yes, I have had it work one time, oddly I forgot the NIC in it and ever since I redid it the very same way I get these errors, and I have tried all the different Tulip drivers, they don't work well. So I am waiting for my 3Com card to come, then I will try again. Be sure I read it all, took the time and re read it again, just to be sure. The errors come from something else, not me, or how I do this. I do not even get past the compile stage now. I get the errors and ctl c out of it, and delete the whole thing.



Probably true.



Since the last episode, I am not using jfs.s anymore, I am using bare.i and had to do a trick to even get to boot without the floppy. Some reason the lilo.conf file would not write properly so it made me use the boot disk. I cheated and fixed it.

so when I get my New NIc then I will go on and try it again, I know now it seems to have something to do with my nic. Thank you for your ever so well behaved patience. I know I have not been very good about this, but I honestly have read everything at least 4 times for surety. Just so I would not have to go through this too, yet here I am. Once again, Thank you.

BenneJezzerette - as requested by a few people in the "This Is How I Do It All" thread, your posts have been split off into this new thread.
