just one question: knowing that my machine is a PC, may I consider that
Hi Oliver, If I recall correctly, after a normal installation of a SuSE stock kernel, it DOES NOT result in the file /usr/src/linux/.config being created. I think the config file which matches the SuSE installed kernel is /boot/vmlinuz.config. If you want to be really sure that you generate a config file which matches the currently running kernel, log on as root and cd to /usr/src/linux. Then run: make cloneconfig This uses the /proc/config.gz special file to create a .config which exactly matches the running kernel. Kind regards, Simon -----Original Message----- From: Nick Battle [mailto:Nick.Battle@icl.com] Sent: 31 October 2001 11:37 To: Olivier Hislaire Cc: SuSE List Subject: Re: [SLE] kernel configuration file Olivier Hislaire wrote: the

Is this file different to /usr/src/linux-2.4.4.SuSE/.config (which drives the compilation, if you do a "make bzImage") Cheers, -nick -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq and the archives at http://lists.suse.com -- The content of this e-mail is confidential, may contain privileged material and is intended solely for the recipient(s) named above.

Hello Simon, you're right, there is no .config file after a stock installation; running 'make cloneconfig' in /usr/src/linux-2.4.4.SuSE generated one .config that is slightly different from the one you mentioned in /boot, the latest having 9 more config lines (adding IPSEC, loaded as a module, and its options). Both .config files are much different from archi386/defconfig. Thanks, Olivier. At 12:14 31/10/01 +0000, you wrote:
