ac_dispatcher Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 Ok Laptop died (water not good) SO I when to the old standbye (K7 mobo) Decided to try out the 2.6 kernel so here is my story & thoughts. For me its works pretty good. Took me about 3 compiles to get a good working kernel. Compiling is easy: Old way: .. make dep make clean bzImage make modules make modules_install (can differ depending ones likes) New Way: make make modules_install or make && make modules_install Like that :!: "make" command now takes the place of make dep & make bzImage & and make modules. Actually I think make dep is not needed anymore. Im no 2.6 wizard. In the 2.6 kernel I did alot of built in kernel options (less modules) For example by chipset, sound card (ALSA), network card at all built into the kernel(1.8mb) Things I like so far: ALSA for es1371 built into the kernel Alot more options Things odd: My BaldursGate Game under Winex now is at a crawl. So much its unplayable. Ill try a reinstall Thinks I found on the 2.6 kernel: made a /sys directory then added to my fstab: none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 found at: http://thomer.com/linux/migrate-to-2.6.html **note not sure if it was need but it does load the /sys directory with data on boot. NVIDIA does not support 2.6 kernel but I found out how to get it working at: http://www.minion.de/ alot of good info at http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/799 Well Ill post more if I find more.

sarah31 Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 likely your gaming issues are due to the fact that your wine is build and optimized with a different kernel. you could try rebuilding from source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac_dispatcher Posted October 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Just did that. Worked well. So far no 2.6 issues but its on cooker so not to sure if a lockup is from the kernel or cooker. It did lock up a bit prior to kernel 2.6.

Gowator Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 Im trying to get the &¤ bit drivers working with 2.6.3-13mdk but everthing is dogged by ERROR. The kernel header file '/lib/modules/"2.6.3-13/build/include/linux/modversions.h' does not exist. The most likely reason is that the kernel header files in /lib/modules/2.6.3-13/build/include' have not been configured this is an urpmi'd kernel-source, the only change (after the same error) was I manually edited the Makefile to change the stupid -extraversion thing MDK tag on This is similar to the problems I had in 9.2 trying to get the nforce drivers working with the enterprise kernel. Alghough mandrake seem to have eventually acknowledged people might want a gig of RAM in the standard kernel for AMD64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
