Hi!

anyone getting kernel 2.6.22.6 working on Slackware / Slackware 12.0
please share how you get this done

2. there is kernel patch http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kern...h-2.6.22.6.bz2 at kernel website, but i'm not sure how to apply this

currently i'm using kernel 2.6.13 and wanted to compile the new kernel, can i just patch it using the source above?

please shed some light ...thanks

Try my article:
http://www.informatix.or.id/willy/in...rom-source.php

It works and it's based on Shilo's guidance

still, it will give the same error message even i'm using make oldconfig
is this new kernel diffrence from other kernel therefore old guidance won't work on this kernel?

Yep, running 2.6.22.6 as we speak. Just downloaded the full source code, copied my existing .config file from my 2.6.18 kernel, did the usual make mrproper, make oldconfig, then a sudo make menuconfig just to fine tune, followed by make, make modules_install. Then copied the /usr/src/linux-2.6.22.6/arch/i386/boot/bzimage to /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22.6. Configed lilo.conf to show my new kernel, run lilo then rebooted and everything works as I expected with one exception. I don't have the hibernate function from Klaptop anymore, although it works from the command line, so I suspect a kde fault rather than anything else.

I'm sorry I can't give you much more information, but I, as probably many other people, have no problems running the 2.6.22.6 kernel on Slackware. Unfortunately, this is a custom compile with my own configuration.

OTOH, Slackware 12.0 uses kernel 2.6.21. It should be no problem to download the 2.6.22.6 full source (or the 2.6.22 source and then apply the .6 patch), copy the configuration from kernel 2.6.21 to .config and run make oldconfig, followed by make, make modules_install, etc. The differences between 2.6.21 and 2.6.22 are not that big from the kernel configuration perspective.

You need the 2.6.22 kernel sources.
Apply the patch with the following (in the sources dir): patch -p1 <patch-2.6.22.6 (after bunzip2-ing it.)

Or "bzcat patch-2.6.22.6.bz2 | patch -p1"

1. You're not on Slackware 12.0 (but you knew that)
2. You can't apply a patch to a kernel 9 generations older then the patch.
3. Yeah.. just get the full source code as mentioned before, and reuse your old configuration file
( cp /usr/src/linux/.config /usr/src/linux-2.6.22.6/ )

See $linuxSourceDirectory/Documentation/applying-patches.txt

i'm on slack & will try to compile again based on advices given by other members
thanks
