Which ver is 9.1?

c0reDump · 03-06-2004, 05:52 PM

I have just done a clean install of 9.1 from ISO's I downloaded last week, and the kernel says 2.4.20 but /lib/modules/2.4.22. This is a problem because I can't get my network to work.

I get errors on boot complaining about not being able to open the /lib/modules/2.4.20/modules.dep file.

This machine was working fine on Slack 9.0.

Did I download a mismatched pair of ISO's or something like that?

Would appreciate any pointers.

Thanks in advance.

Doesn't sound good to me, it should be kernel 2.4.22.

Do u install any kernel of the 9.1 at the end of installation ?( that should implied copying any vmlinuz n System.map n config into /boot, modify /etc/lilo.conf n run lilo).

If not u can still do that manually. Choose a bzImage,System.map,config from the <<9.1-CD>>/kernel/bare.i. Copy them into /boot, possibly with other extention, say "-9.1", then add a linux entry into /etc/lilo.conf, run lilo.

sounds like whoever made the ISO, put the wrong kernel version
in it........

kernel-source-2.4.22-noarch-3.tgz

I cannot see how that happened since it only comes with 2.4.22. I think that the most logical thing to do at this point is to re download the ISO Images, perhaps off a different HTTP/FTP site.

I repviously had Slack 9.0 on this machine which installed kernel 2.4.20.

Somehow I was not blowing away the old kernel when I was doing the new install of Slack 9.1.

2 clues helped tho, LST mentioned that 9.1 only came with 2.4.22 and I was getting errors when I would try to install Lilo.

Solution: re-formatted the hard drive with DOS and then re-initialized the MBR.
