Installing kernel 2.6.7 in /testing
I installed Slackware 10.0, and also LILO to the MBR (if that part matters).
I want to install the kernel in testing, but how do I do that? I see lots of ways to recompile, but which files in the directory of /testing/kernel-2.6.7 do I need, and what do I do with them? Could you send a couple links my way, or some kind of help please? Thanks. |
All the info you need is contained in the README.initrd file found in the
/testing/packages/linux-2.6.7/ directory. Here is a link to it so you can read/print it before you get started ftp://ftp.cs.columbia.edu/archives/o.../README.initrd Although, I start off with a simple ' installpkg * ' . And I make sure I maintain the original 2.4.26 kernel in my lilo.conf - that part is not covered in the README. -tw Here is part of my lilo.conf that boots both slack kernels: # Slackware 2.6.7 config begins image = /boot/vmlinuz-generic-2.6.7 initrd = /boot/initrd.gz root = /dev/hda1 label = Slack-2.6.7 read-only # Slackware 2.6.7 config ends # Slackware 2.4.26 config begins image = /boot/vmlinuz-ide-2.4.26 root = /dev/hda1 label = Slack-2.4.26 read-only # Slackware 2.4.26 config ends |
Thanks, I got it installed using Shilo's guide. Now I just have to download 2.6.10 on dialup.
