Kernel 2.6 feature list
I want to contribute to the cause of open source so please can anyone get me the kerenel 2.6 feature list (detailed)....
|
I suggest you download the kernel source at www.kernel.org and then brwose through the menuconfig:
tar xvfj/xvfz <file> make menuconfig |
i did that .. since i am new to the linux kernel world.. switching from a user to kernel source explorer... it has not yet got me through the exact feature list of thenew 2.6 kernel .. please suggest where the list is
|
check www.linuxworld.com
they have classes for students that know nothing about the linux kernel, but want to contribute. Kernel Source Explorer Classess, 149 US dollars a session. |
thanx autopsy for the information will check out ..
i am in need of documents.. |
If you are looking for what is new in 2.6, over 2.4, then take a look at
kniggit.net/wwol26.html |
How about www.kernel.org
surely they have what's new. |
However, i'f your looking into how the kernel works, then you'd have to take a book out on it, because most of the info on the internet isn't well compacted.
|
i searched a lot on the net the thing is that i did not get through any proper material... which book do you suggest i should go for???
|
I'd take a look at the stuff from Oreilly. They are usually the best when it comes to open source documentation.
<http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/linuxkernel2/> Its a little out of date (2.4 series) but i would assume it to be a good place to start. I'm not a c/c++ programmer so the linux kernel is a little greek to me. |
info about the kernel is as close as /usr/src/linux directory!!
that documentation folder is 5+ megs in size. read thru it |
Hi people, I have a problem:
I have Mandrake 10 RC1 installed on my computer, I have both kernels, 2.6 and 2.4. But when I do a uname -a, I get a message like this: Linux linxus6.uwaterloo.ca 2.4.25-0.pre7.3mdk #1 jeu fv 5 16:29:56 CET 2004 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux This means I only have a kernel 2.4 running. How can I switch my kernel 2.4 to 2.6? Since I have to use it for cifs mounting. Thank you. |
how did you get through getting the kernel 2.6???
have you build from the source downloaded from the internet... which is you loader... |
victorhe,
have you told your boot loader (grub, lilo ..) about the 2.6 kernel ? |
Quote:
as suggested before: download the kernel source at www.kernel.org extract it to /usr/src/linux-2.6.X change to that directory open the README file read it + proceed as suggested there once you have build a new kernel, put it (bzImage) and System.map to a place suitable for your bootloader (e.g. /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.X and /boot/System.map-2.6.X) for features: have a look into /usr/src/linux-2.6.X/Documentation (as suggested before) Most linux distributions come along with a large bundle of HOWTOs from the Linux Documentation Project (LDP) Online version: http://www.tldp.org/ The "Kernel Hackers Guide" is accessible from there too. |
