Hi, how can I install the kernel 2.6 next to 2.4? Just install it and add it to GRUB? And how do I add it to GRUB then? Ulrich

Just FTP the kraxel RPMs mentioned in: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/kraxel/README Follow the instructions, I found them a bit cryptic. The RPM will install the 2.6 kernel in /boot alongside the old 2.4 one and arrange the symlinks (vmlinux and initrd) to point to the new kernel so it will boot. To re-enable the booting 2.4, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and create a new section that references it directly. See my file at the end of this email. With some mucking to create a new modprobe.conf I got the basic machine and network card to boot reliably. But I couldn't get sound, (standard SB Live card) and this morning USB has gone AWOL taking the mouse with it. So I'm back on 2.4. Once I get 2.6.2 downloaded I might try again. michaelj -- Michael James michael.james@csiro.au System Administrator voice: 02 6246 5040 CSIRO Bioinformatics Facility fax: 02 6246 5166 PS: Here's my /boot/grub/menu.lst file, I can choose which kernel boots. suse:/home/pi/jam176 # cat /boot/grub/menu.lst # Modified by YaST2.

But can I just install the mantel ones without having anything to configure? There are no instructions. So would it work out the box? Any experience with mantel's kernel Ulrich

Haven't try 2.6.x myself, but I pressume we still need some of kraxel's packages. Rgds. Vredi
