Ok, I have a question. Things work a bit different with SuSE k-compile/installs and I have never gotten it quit right. So, I'll run a list of what I think I should do and please give corrections and/or suggestions. I especially get frustrated when I run lsmod and see only two or three mods listed. So here it is: make config/menuconfig/xconfig(xconfig this one I'm not sure about with SuSE) make make modules make modules_install Now, this is where I'm not sure. should I make make install? make bzimage? Then cp the image to the boot dir? What exactly do I do then to I mk_initrd Do I need to have a back up copy of the module.conf?, or anything else? If someone could run down a list of exactly what to do I would be very grateful. TIA, Curtis lilo On Saturday 29 September 2001 04:41 pm, Alexey N. Solofnenko wrote:
It is actually much easier. After installing a new kernel run two commands: mk_initrd lilo
And then restart.

Hi there,
I have been trying to upgrade to Kernel 2.4.7 since it is available from the official update tree on the SuSE FTP web site, and have encountered a number of problems:- * I needed to recompile the kernel with the Reiserfs module built-in in order to mount my root partition (with 2.4.4 it worked out of the box). * The supplied "alsa-driver-0.5.10b" would not recompile with "--with-sequencer=on", however downloading "alsa-driver-0.5.11" from www.alsa-project.org cured the problem. * The 2.4.7.SuSE-4GB kernel causes kernel panics on boot when compiled for an Athlon, but not when compiled for K6.
I have let my unread entries grow to 10000+ on this mailing list, so please excuse any repetition from previous e-mails. I would like to compile the 2.4 kernel for my athlon, so If anyone has any helpful advice...
Many Thanks
Roger
