<0> on menuconfig thereis save config menu item
<1> i see that
<0> and when u exit that ask to save the config
<1> ok
<0> then jsut run make && make modules_instaa
<0> *install
<0> and on slackware the default kernel config is on boot directory
<1> nic
<1> e
<1> so next upgrade il do ill save the config file from there, and them just run that command
<1> run make && make module_install
<0> yes
<1> after reboot will isee new kernel in uname -a
<1> i havent rebooted yet
<0> no
<0> u have to cp the kernel image
<0> and update lilo
<1> ive copied the kernel image to /boot
<1> and have updated lilo
<0> okey then it should work
<1> ill reboot her
<1> see what happs
<0> hope it's work
<1> :)
<2> Hi all!
<2> I use Linux
<2> Which modules do I enable to have ethernet and PPPoE support?
<1> ahh rebooted it and kernel panic
<1> half way through boot, so im reloading slackware again
<0> "could mount root blocks"
<0> is that why it panic
<1> yah said couldnt mount fs
<1> or something
<0> okey
<1> wat was my drama, there
<0> u propably miss the filesystem module or ide chips
<1> oh ok
<1> this time i might use the old config file
<0> those must be on build to kernel
<1> becuase 2.4 works great,everythign works fine
<0> and is good to build initri image
<1> i just hope i save the old config file properly for this next shot
<0> it is .config file
<1> k
<0> mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.15.1.img 2.15.1
<3> ahh slack, thats what your problem was
<1> heya gb :)
<3> its the kernels way of telling you too install a real dist :P
<1> what do you use gb
<3> sid, woody & potato
<1> ok
<0> :P
<3> might even have some disks with bo ham & slink on them too
<3> whoever reckons initrd images are good are clueless
<3> initrd is fine for dist builders, for everyday use they're a waste of memory
<3> save your config & use make oldconfig if you must, but I recommend trying too build a kernel from scratch with menuconfig instead reading less .config from your previous kernel & cross referencing with the help in the new kernel
<0> is safty mechanism
<3> then build a minimal kernel for booting / without needing too use initrd
<1> yeah ,ok
<3> everything else not needed for mounting / should be built as modules
<0> and module unloading is good to be enabled
<1> k
<3> reason being modules take up memory & if they're not being unloaded its a waste of memory
<3> and / never gets unmounted unless you're about too kill init
<3> module==code for actual device/driver+headers & other crap needed too load/unload it
<3> hence the need for initrd on a machine where everything needed too mount / is built into the kernel is gone.
<3> thats basically the only reason for the pivotroot hack aka initrd
<3> too allow you too build things such as ide, scsi, et2/3 as modules too allow a broad use of your kernel on all sorts of hardware in many differring scenarios
<3> on a single machine thats being used as a server/workstation thats not being reinstalled every pink moon, initrd is pointless
<3> if you change your hardware, recompile the kernel, simple
<3> it's not like you'll stick the new hardware / filesystem in without rebooting anyway
<4> back , on new slackware install
<4> ok got menuconfig up choose this option "load an alternat configuration file"
<4> alternate*
<4> i choose load an alternat .config file, but whenit takes me to choose nam eof it i see .config all ready in there, hit enter and it says no config file exists
<4> ok i choose /boot/config ,it accepted it
<0> it doesn't still work?
<4> yeah im make && make modules_install
<4> at that stage
<0> okey
<4> its compiling nice, few warning errors
<4> arch/i386/kernel/apm.c:1204: warning: `pm_send_all' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/pm_legacy.h:31)
<4> still seems to be compiling fine
<0> it hard to get compiled kernel on any erroros
<4> k
<0> i don't know any easy way to do that
<0> only write down each module depence and put those on the kernel
<4> so i dont have to delete the old stuff from /boot like old image file and system.map
<4> because i put a bImage file in /boot do imake my lilo.cong image=/boot/bImage-ide-2.6.15.1
<4> lilo.conf*
<4> paistis>Since my image file is a bImage in /boot do i put image=/boot/bImage-ide-2.6.15.1 in lilo.conf to change it to suit new kernel
<0> image=/boot/the file name what u have copied
<4> ok the file name is bImage
<0> image=/boot/bImage
<4> ok thanks what about after it ide-2.6.15.1
<4> it hasnt got that after it on the file i copied
<4> just says bImage
<0> how u copy the bzImage
<4> image = /boot/bzImage
<4> root = /dev/hda1
<4> label = slack(k2.6)
<4> i copied it from dir and pasted it
<4> the bzImage
<0> okay what about that bImage-ide-2.6.15.1 file?
<4> i havent i havent copied that yet
<4> ill locate that.should be last thing i have toput in
<0> u don't need that file
<0> put the config file and System.map
<0> to boot directory
<4> ok config file,where is the new one usually located in /boot
<4> look for new config file
<0> it is on the directory where u have untar the source
<4> ok
<4> /usr/src/linux-2.6.15.1 in that folder cant see .config
<0> sure?
<4> im in that folder yeah
<0> ls .config
<4> i cant see .config
<4> ok
<4> root@ggggg:/usr/src/linux-2.6.15.1# ls .config
<4> .config
<0> it is there
<4> hmm ,let me look again it is 4.49am
<0> cp /usr/src/linux-2.6.15.1/.config /boot/config-2.6.15
<4> cp /usr/src/linux-2.6.15.1/.config /boot/config-2.6.15 did it need a .1 on the end?
<5> paistis, you dont need config file in boot to let mashin boot =) Especialy if you enabled /proc/congif.gz
<5> only bzImage and System.map files are needed
<0> Schamane_ yeh but it good to put there
<0> to next time to compiled
<5> sometimes you also need initrd if you use modules for FS or specific hardware
<5> paistis, i never copy config files :p
<0> :P
<4> excellent i copied that .config over
<4> time for reboot again
<0> hope it work now
<4> thnx for help ill see ya soon :)
<6> :o)
<6> dont this =)
<6> copiing config dont make system bootable =)
<6> this guy use little bit confusing names for kernels =)
<0> SchAmane: he copy the kernel image
<6> :o)
<0> it was only backup the config
<6> i mostly rename bzImage to kernel-2.6.x-patchsetname
<6> or to vnlinuz-version =)
<0> i too
<6> :o)
<0> but it doesn't matter
<6> not realy =)
<0> i think the system go boot if the kernel image name is version number or some girl name :P
<0> clown12: does it work?
