Kernel update question

kernel 2.6.3 has about 5 dependencies. kmc77, you can try downloading them manually and putting them in a local folder, then adding that folder to Media Manager. Or just the kernel rpm, and hopefully urpmi will find the deps on the mirrors.

 

I'm experimenting with other distros right now until mandrake mirrors are fully up.

if you need the source

ftp://carroll.aset.psu.edu/pub/.mirrors/2...3-7mdk.i586.rpm

 

dload to a dir>cd /dir>rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.3-7mdk.i586.rpm>as it gives you deps...satisfy them. Everything it needs should be at the same mirror. Now, whether or not that sends you on a neverending dep prob from 9.2 I don't know. You could use urpmi....here's the hdlist location;

ftp://carroll.aset.psu.edu/pub/.mirrors/2.../Mandrake/base/

 

Oh, a simple google found the above :D

Yeah, I Googled and found it also, but I keep getting run in circles. Downloaded kernel 2.6.3.4 (i guess that's right), but I try to urpmi it and it has some deps. I install the deps but it still gives me same error. I thought someone might have a better place/way. I tried arthur's reccomendation of this page, but the link there is dead. I'll give your sources a shot.

no, I didn't mean to install them separately. just put them in a folder, add that folder into Media manager, then urpmi the kernel.

 

then don't forget to run lilo(type lilo as root in terminal, of course). If the new kernel doesn't appear there, edit /etc/lilo.conf and point it in the right direction. the kernel image should be in /boot/
