I am wanting to build a new linux box, but want to keep the old SuSE 8.2 HD and put it in another box.
Problem: The original setup for the original was withan AMD Athalon XP CPU. The box I want to move it to uses an old Pentium I (133mhz) CPU.
Question: What do I need to do to make sure it works in its new location?
Open Yast2 - software install/uninstall. Right now you probably have the k_athlon installed. Select k_default. Click "check dependancies." Yast2 will moan about k_athlon and k_default conflicting. Choose to delete k_athlon. This replaces the Athlon kernel with the Intel/generic kernel. You will probably also have to replace glibc. As far as I know the CDs have one for i586 and one for i686. Look on the cds, find the one for i586, and do rpm -Uvh --nodeps --force glibc-x.x.x-i586.rpm The only other thing which might cause trouble is if the Pentium's BIOS doesn't support the size of the hard disc, but that's another problem on its own. -- Kind regards Hans du Plooy Newington Consulting Services hansdp at newingtoncs dot co dot za
