I am considering upgrading my kernel to this 2.4.22, but it sounds like it would not work well on 8.2? In other words the best route would be to get 9 then upgrade the kernel? Is it worth a try on my 8.2 and does anyone know how I could get this to run smoothly and well with 8.2? Is there a usb fix for athlon's on 8.2 that anyone knows about that would not need upgrading a kernel?
Any thoughts or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
I am running 2.4.22 with SuSE 8.2 on an Athlon. No problems.
The only problems may come in getting the compile done with the compiler that comes with 8.2 but it sounds like you've already updated the compiler.
Dear Bruce,
No, I have not updated the compiler. I probably need to and that could be part of the problem I had. Would you tell me exactly where to get this update and how to apply? I am planning to upgrade my 8.2 to 2.4.22 so it seems like this would be a good idea. Are there any other things I need to know before I do this ? Any suggestion will be appreciated since I am an extreme newbie about kernel compiling.
Thanks for the help.
Marcia
I'm going to have to send you to the archives. Someone from SuSE posted a location where an updated compiler was located.. There are about 16 RPMs and for all I know, they may now be available in YOU but if not then they are available somewhere on SUSE's site. Would suggest you get the gcc updates first and see how that goes. I have a writeup (now a little old at the 2.4.16 level) that I can send you. It should cover the basics. You will also have to get the latest modutils from www.kernel.org but in reality, I think the modutils you have should be fine. I'm using modutils-2.4.25. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
