Hello sir and everybody
I ask you information regarding the upgrade of kernel 2.2.10 because I ve tried several commands to upgrade it but it failed. I have downloaded Suse packages :
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1897912 Aug 6 07:22 linclude-2.2.14-13.i386.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5644288 Aug 5 20:38 linux-2.2.14-13.i386.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18486830 Aug 6 07:00 lx_suse-2.2.14.SuSE-20.i386.rpm
On my machine I have packages below installed:
cyrix150:~/rpm # rpm -qa |grep 2.2.10
linclude-2.2.10-3 lx_suse-2.2.10.SuSE-2
This is not correct. lx_suse is the full kernel source. linclude are just part of kernel source needed to compile user programs. If you aer not going to compile your own kernel or compile programs using kernel headers you may happily leave these two alone.
For the upgrade I used commands:
cyrix150:~/rpm # rpm -Uvh lx_suse-2.2.14.SuSE-20.i386.rpm error: lx_suse-2.2.14.SuSE-20.i386.rpm cannot be installed
This package contains compiled kernel and modules. Any other messages you get? What if you try -Uvvh flag?
cyrix150:~/rpm # rpm -Uvh linclude-2.2.14-13.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: lx_suse conflicts with linclude-2.2.14-13 linclude conflicts with lx_suse-2.2.10.SuSE-2
This is correct. lx_suse and linclude are mutually exclusive. You may have only one of them installed.
Is it useful to install linux-2.2.14-13.i386.rpm package which is not installed yet now. I have not found a lot of help file on Suse site to do this upgrade. Does anybody get information on a site to do this operation.
THis is kernel source. You don't need it unless you are going to compile your own kernel.
I ve not found any package called kernmod-2.2.14-x on Suse ftp site. Is it normal ?
Modules are contained in linux-2.2... rpm.
Thanks for your help Bye
Marc
