Re: uptime - updating the kernel
hi ya... you can already upgrade the kernel w/o rebooting... went looking for the project name ... but could not find it in my archived emails have fun alvin On Sat, 15 Sep 2001, dman wrote: .. | these machines are around: piper as a modem/fax server, and piper as a | print server. work just fine. :) The next killer-feature would be the ability to upgrade the kernel while it is running without losing the uptime. :-).
Problems updating development kernel / init not found
Hi... I'm using Debian unstable with the 2.3.42 kernel and try to update to 2.4-test4 or any other reasonable new kernel. The problem is that the new kernels wont boot, I always get a Kernel panic: init not found message when booting the new kernel. The same problem occurs with all other newer kernels, for example I tried two of the 2.3.50 series. - both kernels are in the same lilo.conf, the configuration is identical (same rootboot partion and so on, only image and label are different) - the kernel seems to mount the root partition correctly (VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.), so I guess I have the ext2 file systems and IDE drivers in the kernel. The partitions are displayed, too. - I tried to specify another init process, for example init=/bin/bash, without any effect What else can I do? Have there been any changes in the ext2 file system that can prevent newer kernels from reading my boot partition? bye...

Updating the kernel
Hello all. I was wondering if there was anything special I needed to do to upgrade from kernel 2.0.30 to kernel 2.0.32 (or 33 if it's available). Red Hat requires an rpm --install to avoid overwriting the old kernel. Does dpkg require this too? I've made an honest effort to read the documentation.

In brief: install kernel-package and read its documentation. Either download the latest kernel-source_2.0.32 package from Debian or download the latest kernel from sunsite or ftp.kernel.org. (If you get linux-2.0.33.tar.gz or similar, unpack it in /usr/local/src.) cd to /usr/src/linux or /usr/local/src/linux, run make xconfig, then use kernel-package to make yourself a nice kernel .deb. -- Carey Evans http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/c.evans/ GNU GPL: The Source will be with you... always. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Updating the kernel via patches
I remember that Carey Evans suggested some time ago downloading the whole sources for upgrading. Is this the only easy way? It is certainly the easiest way, and it's what I recommend for people who are inexperienced at dealing with patches. (However, dealing with patches is the only way to get experience at dealing with patches...) -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
