Recommended Posts

I had originally posted this, then deleted it as I figured people wouldn't be interested, but I'll put it back since it might help, generally, with those new to Gentoo, for example. aru, does 1. apply to you?

Subject: [SM-Discuss] linux kernel spell has 2.6.0-test1 support now

Upgrading in 13 easy steps.



1) make sure module-init-tools is installed

2) backup your old /etc/sorcery/local/kernel.config

3) remove the old kernel config to get defaults in place on cast

4) cast -c linux

5) say yes to reconfigure kernel.

6) change LATEST_2_4 or whatever to LATEST_2_6_TEST

7) unselect all the patches (or use cast -r -c linux)

8) twiddle with the options

9) finish the compile

10) say no to all the triggers that come up.

11) add an entry to /etc/lilo.conf if not been done yet:

image           = /boot/vmlinubz-2.6.0-test1

       label   = linux-2.6.0-t1

12) run lilo (even though the spell does this) if you did 11.

13) reboot



I know that 13 is an unlucky number, but it was by accident.



I got lots of help from zero from holding my hand on the details.



Please test (p4 sync it or wait for the tarballing)



Mine works but for some interrupt conficts that might be related to acpi

interfering with my 3c905b, and I'm using an nForce-based board.



Gotta run now.

Okay, well, it's working fine for me so far, but I didn't patch and install my NVidia drivers yet, so I'm using the (crappy) nv driver.

 

Majesty still works, so I imagine most of the games out there won't be broken, and my browser and email work just fine, and I'm listening to Zao with XMMS, so it's all good so far in.

 

Yay and all that.

 

EDIT:

 

Okay, I put the NVidia drivers in using the patch from minion.de. Seems to be working just fine.

Excellent, thanks, I'll take a look to it this evening at home :D

 

(*) notice the date of my post, I'm not having time to use my computers (and much less to be online), just imagine my anxiety!!!

Running it perfectly, but not with mandrake. Dang fast, must say. Games are crazy - and booting is looney fast. I'd take some sort of race with XP to see who could be playing an mp3 first... or who could be on the net first, etc..
