Hi, just wondering when the 2.4.19 kernel will be released. If anyone has a clue or notion I would like to hear about it. I have a pcd20272 chip on my mobo (promise/gigabyte ide controller for hde, f , g, h inteface) but the current kernel doesn't support. However, according to the change log the 2.4.19 will. I have tried to apply the 2.4.19-rc3 patch but with limited success. the module driver have compiled but when giving the modules_install the modules aren't in /lib/modules/*. I'm sure i have skipped something, but not sure what. Tried the "patch -p0 <patch-2.4.19-rc3" and always asks for "file to patch", so I did "patch -p1 <patch-2.4.19-rc3" and kernel was patched. Then I configed, and ran make dep clean bzlilo modules modules_install, went ok. Then mk_initrd and then lilo but the modules aren't there in /lib/modules - any dirs. So a cp'ed vmlinuz.2.4.19-4rc3 and the same or it's system map to the boot dir. Edit lilo.conf and then ran mk_initrd and lilo again load into lilo but on boot 2.4.19-rc3 image goes nowhere. Therefore, I was hoping that a complete kernel might be able to get me the drivers I wanted, I can install from source, and better yet a SuSE kernel rpm. However, I'm not sure about what I missed. TIA, Curtis

Check www.kernel.org if you want the standard one. There are some prepatches for it -- Stephen Patterson Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.
I see on Slashdot this morning that 2.4.19 is released... ...so would someone please tell a newbie how to install it, please? -r- On Monday 29 July 2002 13:23, Curtis Rey wrote:

You visit your local mirror, e.g. for central europe the following is a good one: ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse There you look for a directory named people/mantel/next/rpm or similar.
From that directory, you dl the k_dflt rpm package.
Next, you install it like that: # rpm -Uvh k_dflt.rpm Then you run the following two commands: # mk_initrd # lilo As root, of course. This is valid for a 'normal' installation with lilo as a bootmanager and just one processor on the board. You said 'Newbie' so I don't suppose you to run peculiar stuff:-) (and neither do I recommend you to compile your own kernel !!!). If 2.4.19 is not yet available from Hubert Mantel's site, then wait a couple of days, it'll soon be there:-) Cheers .... Wolfi ============================================= mailto:wolfi_z@gmx.net
unfortunately the mantel kernel isn't 2.4.19 yet, soon im sure though :) Ewan On Sat, 2002-08-03 at 18:09, wolfi wrote:
