This is strange. Has anyone come across this before?
I did a complete fresh install of SuSE 8.0 pro. When complete I entered the OS with no problems. Just to make sure I rebooted went back into
But how do I get hold of the kernel used in SuSE 8.1? Do I need to install 8.1 or is that particular kernel available seperatly. -----Original Message----- From: Anders Johansson [mailto:andjoh@rydsbo.net] Sent: Friday, January 17, 2003 8:32 PM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] mantel kernel update On Fri, 2003-01-17 at 20:20, Gedi wrote: the
newly installed OS again. Everything was fine.
I then downloaded the latest 2.4.19 kernel from mantel from
'ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mantel/next/RPM/k_smp-2.4.19-204.i586.rpm
' (I am running a p4 and the current kernel detected this and installed smp. Uname gave '2.4.18-64GB-smp' or whatever, I can't remember the exact syntax).
OK, with no drivers installed, still running a completely fresh install, I opened up kpackage and using the mantel kernel, I updated the current one. I then rebooted to check the new kernel, the screen initializes with 'loading linux.......' then it just hangs. If I try running the 'linux - safe settings' the same thing happens. Whats happened here?
I was under the impression the rpm file did everything required to fully update the kernel. Did I miss something, do I need to alter some configuration files?
One thing you apparently missed is that the kernels in people/mantel are
development kernels. They are there for testing purposes only. They
usually work, but there are no guarantees. There's sometimes new patches
being tested in those. I wouldn't rely on them if I were you.
