Bellies Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 I have just downloaded the 2.6.10 kernel source rpm for Mandrake, but i don't really know what to do with it. I tried rpm -i but it has installed somewhere and I cannot find it (I thought it would be in usr/src/somewhere) Then I tried rpmbuild but it claims there is no rpmbuild command please tell me what to do. Thanks moved from Installing MDK (anon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anon Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 but i don't really know what to do with it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What do you want to do with it? compile your own kernel? something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellies Posted February 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 I just want to use it in place of my current kernel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aioshin Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 I just want to use it in place of my current kernel <{POST_SNAPBACK}> try 2 look at it at /usr/src/ if u find /usr/src/linux-2.6.10 and want to try to install it... try this.. first, issue uname -r to find what version your current working kernel.. then copy the working kernel config @ /boot ... uĺl find there several config-2.6.xxxxx, so issue cp /boot/config-2.xx-working-config /usr/src/linux-2.6.10/.config then, issue make oldconfig, it will prompt some options... then try make xconfig, or make menuconfig for GUI selection of options... after that.. try to edit the Makefile under the kernel source and change ur extraversion= then type make, then make modules_install, then make install the make will create bzimage, will do the make modules also and the make install will do the rest, including the creation of additional entry in ur grub or lilo :P hope it helps a little :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarecrow Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Don't use kernel RPM's from Cooker. They are compiled using a different gcc version than your system, and that spells trouble. But you can get the 2.6.10 .src.rpm package, and compile the kernel yourself (you will also need the initscripts package): rpm --rebuild kernel*.src.rpm (it surely will take quite some time to finish). The built packages can be found at /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/somewhere (depending on your system architecture). All that said, currently all 2.6.10 kernels from Cooker I've tried (on Mandy 10.2) are at the very best problematic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 (edited) in case this has not been said yet... kernel-source=compile a custom kernel, other apps, development, drivers etc.... kernel-blablabla.src.rpm=compile the kernel... and it takes a very loOOOong time, from what I've heard. Longer than with the kernel-source? I d/k but that's what they say. rpm --rebuild is the old way rpmbuild --rebuild is the new way rpmbuild is part of the rpm-build pkg.

AleXxiO Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 rpm --rebuild doesn't go...it says /usr/rpm/../rpmb not found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 hmmm...well after I just said that is the old way and that you need the rpm-build pkg, why would you do rpm --rebuild? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AleXxiO Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 i don't know how but it seems i installed new kernel: uname -a tells me that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
