Thx for the tip, I downloaded 3 files: k_deflt-2.4.20-18.i586.rpm kernel-source-2.4.20.SuSE-13.i586.rpm kernel-source-2.4.20.SuSE-13.src.rpm According to the list of files of the k_deflt rpm contains a file named 'vmlinuz' that will be extracted to /boot/. This would overwrite my existing kernel, is there a way to prevent this? I know I can rename the file /boot/vmlinuz to something like /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19 and I know I would have to edit /etc/lilo.conf so the line 'image = /boot/vmlinuz' would become 'image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19'. But would I have to change/rename other files as well? My /etc/lilo.conf also contains a line for 'initrd' which appears to be in part the reason why I can't get my new kernel to boot. What is the difference between the 2 kernel-source-rpms? If I would like to compile the kernel myself, which one would I have to install? TIA On Sun, 2003-03-02 at 02:41, Harry Wert wrote:
I downloaded and installed the /SuSE/mantel/2.4.20 kernel rpm for both active and source which installed with no problems just about a week ago. I recommend you do the same.
