Kernel to version 2.6.13


Recommended Posts

As I write this all from memory, I probably wrote a wrong path... Try and execute this:

# cd /usr/src/linux
# find . -name bzImage -print

Your Last Commands gave me this below:

Password:

[root@192 ~]# cd /usr/src/linux

[root@192 linux]# find . -name bzImage -print

./arch/i386/boot/bzImage

[root@192 linux]#

I'll keep helping if I can :)

 

According to the abore result, this must work (don't forget to be root):

# cd /usr/src/linux
# cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.13-perso
# cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.6.13-perso

So is your error with this line?

# mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.13-perso.img 2.6.13-perso

i named my new kernel simply custom

when i do:#mkinitrd /boot/initrd-custom.img custom

i get:

/lib/modules/custom is not a directory

 

:oops: forgot to make modules_install :oops:

sorry

:help::help:

have successfully installed 2.6.13.3 twicenow(going for number three as I type).

keep losing supermount along the way...

however cedega finds my cdrom.

but, konQuereor can't show me the files.

also, whenevr i try to reconfigure the kernel,

(after following the above steps, plus selecting which initrd to use in MCC),

upon trying to boot the new kernel, i get a panic about cant find init.

(have even used init= option in boot loader append).

mounting my CD-Burner and DVD-ROM is a big issue.

trying to reconfigure the kernel is an even bigger issue. :help::help:

 

guess u can still call me newbie....

and STILL trying to get AWAY from Windoze.......

going on 3 years now.......

supermount is not in the kernel by default. You'll have to find a kernel patch with supermount inside, and enable it in the configuration. I never cared about supermount so I don't know where such a patch can be found. Good luck.

what alternatives are there to supermount? 

i want to be able to stick a cd into cdrom and have a

mounted window show up on my desktop. :help:

 

Message Bus (aka dbus) Hardware Abstraction Layer (aka HAL) and ivman (aka ivman).

That is what everybody uses now. Oh, and it works, all the time, unlike supermount.

all is well now....

don't know how it got started on the DVD-Rom, but i copied the dvdrom line over to my cd rewriter

but excluded the ro option(it is a burner)

here is a copy of my /etc/fstab, if it will help anybody else out with the supermount issue.

:thumbs:

/dev/hdb1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 user,iocharset=iso8859-1,noauto,ro,exec 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 iso9660 user,iocharset=iso8859-1,noauto,exec 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto umask=0,user,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,noauto,sync 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb5 swap swap defaults 0 0

 

Thanks for your patience.
