Problem 2.4.21 Mantel kernel (to fix Intel 875WP m/b problem)
Hi, I have posted 2 days ago a question how to solve problem with Intel Server m/b WD-875-WP1 (on-board Ethernet did not worked). One person suggested me to upgrade to 2.4.21 kernel from /people/mantel dir. However, there is RPM dependency problem - "unsatisfied dependency on rpmlib(PartialHardlinkSets) <= 4.04". Of course, I can force installation, and possibly, it will work. But this will break my apt system installed on this machine. Anyone found a solution for this problem? Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s). ********************************************* * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * Personal Home Page * http://snow.prohosting.com/guru4mac * Mac, Linux, DTP, Development, IT WEB Site *********************************************

The answer is in the readme in Mantel's directory. You have to install using rpm --nodeps ... This is because the new kernel RPMs are made with RPM version 4, whereas SuSE 8.2 and earlier use a patched RPM v3, IIRC. Installs fine with nodeps, though. Regards, Jason

What makes you believe that our RPM4 isn't patched :) Believe me, there were quite a few things we had to change/fix. You'll see it in our RPM4 .src.rpm. Philipp

I didn't think I implied that. Just that SuSE 8.2 and earlier use a patched v3 RPM that can read v4 rpm files fine. I'm not an expert by any means, I'm just very grateful it works! :-) I've not bothered to update rpm to v4.x -- SuSE's 3.0.6 seems to be working fine for me.... are there any pressing advantages in upgrading?
