- and this is an OpenSUSE list and I'm asking a SLES10 question, sigh... - please bear with me.
I need to install a new 2.6.18-something-whatever kernel onto my SLES10 box. Can I find a ready baked 2.6.18 somewhere or can someone direct me to a how-to or something...
I allready downloaded a 2.6.18-something-latest from kernel.org. Untarred it and placed it into /usr/src/linux-2.6.18.something-very-own-kernel. Original SLES10 kernel sources are all installed and in place. I then did a make oldconfig, seemed to work or something I don't understand.
I then edited .config, changed a line stating what version.
Then I proceded with make bzImage. This break after some 10 minutes with a missing module. I can give the exact errors if needed, only I feel that I'm on a generally wrong path. In fact I am, replacing the kernel of a SLES10 is a BAD idea. But these guys wants this done..something with vmware and so forth. So, ok...
And the 1000US$ question is: Why do you need a new kernel? Because you did not tell us. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
