Guest GorGor Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Another board I went to, ok, I know I sholdn't, heh heh claims cd3 has some kernels on it for 9.2 BUT NOT the source, time for a rant, I use dial up because I can't afford adsl, have a look at my signature for my old hardware, what logic is there not to have the main core of my beast on the cd sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmack Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 I think the logic is they tried to pack as much as they could on the 3 cd's and decided _not_ to include the kernel source so they could add something else. I know I read some cooker comments related to a decision of what to keep and what to make users download. So it was a tough call that someone had to make. After the dust settles, I do not think they will leave it out next time. Lots of complaints about that choice! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anon Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Your right, it isn't on the 9.2 CDs, well not from the bittorrent from mdk club anyway. Looks like like you will have to d-load it. If you want i can put it on our d-load site gzipped, so the file will be smaller for you to d-load as your on dial up.

DragonMage Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 It is not available on the regular download edition, but it is available in the powerpack "preview" version that is available for Silver mandrakeclubbers and above. But with the updated kernel out already, you may as well save your bandwidth and download the updated kernel and kernel-source instead.

Guest GorGor Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Thanks for the feedback umm, I was going to try the 2.6 when it comes out of test cycle so my linuxformat mag should have it soon I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Ok a tech question for all you kernel hackers I had problems with some later kernels and decided to reinstall the old -mdk-13 kernel and recompile just changing the HIMEM stuff However first problem was that the makefile appends the -CUSTOM to the extra version. Wanting to try the nvidia nforce rpm's they fall over on the extra version part... since they are hardcoded for mdk-13!!! So I decided just delete the extraversion part and use the supplied .config Except, the .config can't be the same as the one that was actually used for compiling the kernel by mandrake. Im not sure exactly what the differences are (or how to find out exactly) but some modules and in the kernel and the other way round! I'd always presumed that the .config file would beexactly what was used for the makefile ... but it appears not.... Anyone else ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 Okay, have you ever looked at this? http://pgshopping.com/mdkxp/?c=ttrls/mdkkernel You would need to modify the commands to your needs, as it was written with an older version of Mandrake, and therefore different kernel names, but the actual proper steps are there. Now, if you want the actual config from the kernel you are running, it should be kept in /boot/. You can grab it from there or try a make oldconfig or something. Good luck.
