i am using Slackware 14.1 on vmware workstation 10.i am going to build LFS......md5sum doesn't match Linux-3.16.2...but i am continue installing these packages...is there any problem....in future building of LFS......plz help me....

You probably got the md5sum from a previous day upload. It's okay though.

Thank u.....but the md5sum only matches the Linux 3.13.2.....but Linux 3.16.2 is a new Kernel version so that i download it but Md5sum failed to match the Linux 3.16.2...is it safe to continue with this..? or not only use linux 3.13.2 version....is there necessary MD5SUM matches the all packages...? plzz help me....thanks in advance...










English is not my native language;excuse if any grammatical mistakes...

Are you trying to md5sum check the 3.16.2 kernel with 3.13.2 kernel's md5sum file? 3.16.2 kernel should have it's own md5sum file. Just asking to make sure.

The sha256sum file from kernel.org has the following values for 3.16.2:
You can run check with sha256sum command.

When the checksums do not match it's not always that somebody has intentionally changed it and will hack us or like that. It could just be a bad download. If after above step the checksum (md5sum or sha256sum) does not match to the 3.16.2 kernel then redownload it.

Thank u saivinoba.....i run sha256sum linux-3.16.2.tar.xz then the output is 6e7942b4cc99c161b58bea6d3a5b15914e951ff3ebdaf9463b666c9c12a0859a.but i download this package separately remaing pakages are satisfy md5sum commoand this package is satisfy only sha256sum commoand is it safe to continue with these...?

The package you downloaded is OK as it passes given sha256sum check.

I don't use kernel straight from kernel.org so don't know about md5sum. I could not find any md5sum file there to verify. May be kernel.org does not use md5sum mechanism but only sha256sum?!

Anyway, you can proceed with the 3.16.2 kernel.

Thank you saivinoba....
