OK I'm ready to take my next SuSE step. I want to upgrade my kernel. (....)
Hi David, The easiest way (did it last night in download time plus five minutes) hehe:-) 0. Download the mantel kernel: ftp: (your mirror) ... /pub/suse/linux/people/mantel/next/rpm/k_deflt-2.4.16-5.rpm or similar! I don't have it at hand exactly. Then proceed as described in sdb: 1. Backup your old stuff: cp /boot/vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz.old cp /boot/initrd /boot/initrd.old 2. Install new kernel: rpm -Uhv k_deflt.rpm Replace by correct kernel name, of course. In my case, last night, I had to do: rpm -Uhv --force k_deflt.rpm to break up a conflict between old settings and new ones. 3. Create new RAM-disk: mk_initrd 4. Rerun lilo: lilo 5. Reboot and done. Cheers & good luck .... If you want to read the whole sdb stuff, visit http://sdb.suse.de set it to your most common language, and enter 'kernel' in the keyword field, you will then find the whole story Wolfi ================================== mailto:wolfi_z@yahoo.com _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
