slack 11, huge26.s kernel, compile question

I installed slack 11 using the huge26.s kernel option at beginning of setup, installed the modules as per the instructions, everything works great, and I am happy with the results. What I would like to know is why when I go to /usr/src/linux and do "make menuconfig" I am editing the 2.4.33 kernel?


How can I edit the 2.6.17 kernel that I am running?


Thanks

I am not sure, but try setting the symlink /etc/rc.d/rc.modules point to rc.modules-2.6.17.13.

/usr/src/linux is a symlink. You need to move the link to point to the linux-(your kernel version).

Did you install the 2.6 source, from extra, on CD2.

Cheers.

I haven't done anything other than install the system using the huge26.s kernel option, and then after the installation I installed the modules from extra, thats it. as the system is booting all the messages are from the 2.6.17 kernel, but when I go to "make menuconfig" its 2.4.33, I can't even find a folder or anything that says linux-2.6.17 anywhere.

I haven't done anything with symlinks, not sure how to do that yet.

If you install kernel-source-2.6.17.13-noarch-1.tgz from the same directory on your install CD that you installed kernel-modules-2.6.17.13-i486-1.tgz from (extra/linux-2.6.17.13 ?) then you'll get the source directory installed under /usr/src.

Once that's done, you can configure and compile your 2.6 kernel.

linux is a simlink
also build is a simlink (that one is in /lib/modules/)
install also the kernel sources from the cd
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
cd /mnt/cdrom/extra
and isntall kernel source from there
i think the directory is named linux-2.6.17.13 or something like that
