Hi all,
Hey Gedi.
I'm new to linux, only 2 weeks, and I need a little help with updating the kernel. I am running 8.0 on a i686 machine and I have a few questions.
My current kernel version is 2.4.18 and I thought I would have a bash at updating to 2.4.20. I used the following commands:
FYI, not many people have a "bash" compiling kernel. Considering you are new to Linux (only 2 weeks), I suggest you compile some small-fry before compiling the kernel, as you will be very disheartened.
cd /usr/src
Where did you get the sources for 2.4.20? Please provide the filenames for the sources and patches you used.
gunzip -c 'patchfile' | patch -p0
Where did you get the patch? If you're trying to update SuSE's 2.4.19
to the stock 2.4.20, give up now.

It's very difficult to troubleshoot your problem without knowing the
information I requested above.
