updateing fedora 2 kernel 8stacks
Hi i'm a newbe. I've been trying to get my geforce 4 ti4200 to work in fedora 2 core using the new drivers from nvidia. But i read somwhere that the curent nvidia drivers wont work for fc2 . I've been to this site http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader...ernel-i686.php
they have kernels so you can use the nvidia drivers on fc2. My problem is that I have already updated my kernel. my boot options are: 2.6.6-1.435 2.6.6-1.427 2.6.6-1.358 other ----------------------------- the custom kernel i dowloaded from that site is 2.6.6-1.427. When i try and install it Code:
[root@Fedora kernel]# ls thanks alot for your help. |
lupin the 3rd posted this step by step instructions. maybe this could help you.
1) download the kernel sources from here: http://www.kernel.org/ Choose "F" for full sources... the current is 2.6.6 2) open up a terminal and su to root (#denotes commnad line input) 3) #bunzip2 linux-2.6.6.tar.bzip2 4)#mv linux-2.6.6.tar /usr/src 5)#tar -xf linux-2.6.6.tar 6)#cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.6 7)#cp /boot/config-2.6.5-1.358 .config 8)make menuconfig 9)check "Kernel hacking ---> CONFIG_4KSTACKS" and make sure it is disabled 10)exit 11)make && make modules_install && make install 12) or instead of "make install" you can "make rpm" and install that way 13) reboot into the new kernel 14) install nvidia drivers |
Try rpm -ivh --force kernel-2.6.6-1.427.8kstacks.i686.rpm

thanks for your replies.. the link you gave me, I am trying to find 2.6.6 but see only 2.6.7 at the top of the list.
Is that one ok to dl and use for my purpose? the 2.6.7 kernel "F". -------------------------------- updated.. I found on this forum how to remove it rpm -e kernel..... so i'll try that first. -------------------- updated.. it works after kernel was installed i just followed instructions from nvidia and it works :) Thanks for your help guys much appreciated. |
