[opensuse-programming] Kernel update on SUSE 10.0
Hi. I need help. I have SUSE Linux 10.0 with kernel 2.6.13. Now I want to update kernel to last stable version. I need answer on next question: 1. Can I use last kernel version from official linux kernel site for update? 2. When I get kernel, does I need todo some special action before update? 3. I found on net some introduction for update kernel. Does exist some tutorial for manual SUSE update kernel? p.s. I must manual update kernel beacuse I don`t have Internet at home. Tnx so much. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-programming+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-programming+help@opensuse.org

I need answer on next question: 1. Can I use last kernel version from official linux kernel site for update? Yes, but you are better off using the versions from SuSE. 2. When I get kernel, does I need todo some special action before update? There is a fairly comprehensive Readme in the kernel source directory;
3. I found on net some introduction for update kernel. Does exist some tutorial for manual SUSE update kernel? The readme tells you what you need to do. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9

Are you sure Jerry? I thought it was a big deal to upgrade pre 2.6.14 to post 2.6.14 because of udev changes in the kernel that require userland changes. Not to say it can't be done, but I think you need to pay attention to udev.

I did not consider udev in my reply, but the issue is that the OP should get the required RPMs from SuSE and should not worry about building a new kernel. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
