After installing the files mentioned is it also necessary to run mk_initrd or is that taken care of by the installation through Yast Mike On Monday 24 December 2001 18:30, Ben Rosenberg wrote:

How about just getting these rpm's? Why both doing all the patching that SuSE does yourself when Hubert has done a tremendous job of it. It's a lot of needless work.

Get these...here:

k_deflt-2.4.16-22.i386.rpm kernel-source-2.4.16.SuSE-24.i386.rpm modutils-2.4.12-11.i386.rpm

And if you use ReiserFS..get this as well..

reiserfs-3.x.0k_pre10-8.i386.rpm

You can find them here...

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.3/kernel/2.4.16-20011220/

I'm in the process of upgrading from SuSE 6.3 to 7.3 and decided to go ahead and upgrade to the latest kernel at the same time. I have k_deflt and modutils installed but when I try to install kernel-source I receive the following message: error: failed dependencies: lx_suse conflicts with linux-2.4.9-4 Should I be installing the rpm differently than rpm -Uvh? Should I be doing something prior to installing the rpm? Thanks, Skip Ben Rosenberg wrote:

I would install 3 of the rpm's in the updated 2.4.16 directory under the update/kernel directory...these would be..

1. k_deflt 2. kernel-sources (in case you compile something like nVidia drivers which needs them.) 3. The new modutils rpm that's in the directory.

4. ReiserFS rpm (only needed if your using ReiserFS)

After YaST1 installs them and has run it's update scripts then you should esc out of yast and as root run mk_initrd and then run lilo again.

After this you should be able to reboot and it will be a happy tux. :)
