I dl'ed rpm's for the k_deflt_24-2.4.2-4 kernel and the ver *-5 kernel, and the modutils most current version, tried to install either one and 2.4.2-4 could not be querried or open/run. The *-5 kernel did run/install but said it conflicted with already install kernel. So - of the three boot option I have, picking the "Linux 2.4" at the startup/prompt leads to a halt due to not enough information. The other boot options work fine (Linux and SuSE), This brings me to my next topic: I only installed the 2.4 kernel, yet the boot options are always the same. They are: Linux; Linux 2.4; SuSE; Windows: Memory test. The same kernel seems to be using the same modules (*-4GB). Yet I thought a installed both the generic/suse kernel and the *-4GB kernel (and by the way It installed modules I told it not to like the tdx drivers/modules - and several others as well that were neither dependent or satisfied dependencies of other packages). Hence, I'm confused On Monday 16 April 2001 05:38, dids wrote:
If I recompile a new kernel eg 2.4.3 will it 1) create the directory structure /lib/modules/2.4.3 for me
2) tell boot to use these modules ?
Ive been having trouble installing the 2.4.2 on the suse site and want to clear up my misunderstanding
