Steps in details to upgrade kernel in Slakware-current
Sorry if this topic had been repeated.Please link it to me if you can. TQ!
But i really need helps here especially on kernels upgrading. What i did was to download -current.iso and do the whole installation again instead of just kernel upgrade, because i still not sure how(i messed up before, that's why to be safe i just do the fresh installation). |

Thank you J1NKL3,but i suppose this is to build kernels.
How about obtaining the kernel packages from -current mirror and do the upgrade? (of course not slackpkg upgrade-all). |
If you've used a -current ISO, you should already have the -current kernels. If not, but you have a -current mirror enabled in slackpkg, you should be able to use
Code:
slackpkg upgrade kernel-generic kernel-huge kernel-modules |
Usually I upgrade all the kern*txz and then "lilo -C /etc/lilo.conf".
If lilo shows no error, reboot. After rebooting it can be necessary to reinstall some extra software (as Nvidia drivers). |
Thank you guys. Managed to solve it by:
