paul Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I see you've posted just about everywhere on the internet .. :) You will have to build a kernel from source, and mandriva has never been particularly good at this. here's a tutorial: http://linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/202/1/ here's the gentoo kernel guide: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/genkernel.xml here's a very generic howto: http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT3855888078.html you will need to patch your kernel before compiling it. howto: http://www.linuxhq.com/patch-howto.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 You will have to build a kernel from source, and mandriva has never been particularly good at this. Why would Mandriva be worse than any other? I have compiled many kernels on Mandriva without problems. Never Mandriva's kernels, though; only kernels from kernel.org. Yves.

ramfree17 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 i think paul[1] references the fact that compiling the mandriva kernel source does not result to an identical kernel that is officially shipped for MDV. or the fact that MDV kernels are already applied with various kernel patches that patching them with something intended for a vanilla kernel may produce unexpected results. [1] i never thought i would defend paul. its much fun to heckle him. ciao! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
