I'll report after running it for a few days.
If you have the time, would you please tell me the steps you went through to build and install your kernel. Or reference any documentation pointers. When I was doing this a lot lilo was the boot loader and things were really simple.
FYI, you can still use lilo today, I do. If you google "building the linux kernel", you'll get lots of useful pointers.
All you had to do was rename the new kernel. But there are a lot of opensuse patches, some of which probably should be retained.
And I never did anything where systemd loaded the modules.
systemd did not, afaik, change any of that.
If this is pain forget it. If you have notes in a convenient form maybe you could email them to me. I used to build kernels all the time when I wrote drivers for our telescope control systems. But that was way back in 2006.
Building the kernel has not changed that much since then, Don. Get the source, configure to your liking, build, build modules, install modules, amend bootloader, done. If you want the openSUSE patches etc, it's probably easiest just getting a ready-built kernel package from http://software.opensuse.org. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (12.4°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
