[gentoo-user] Kernel Re-Compilation Question

2003-03-06 Thread Doug Gorley
Good afternoon (PST) list, I'm trying to get a little more comfortable with kernel configuration, and have just compiled a 2.4.20 kernel from the vanilla-sources that uses modules wherever possible. Following the Kernel HOWTO at http://www.tldp.org/, I changed my Makefile to read EXTRAVERSION =

Which would you buy? I'd go for the 120. There are other factors than cache that can have a bigger impact on speed, and from what I've seen the speed difference between a 2MB and 8MB cache is fairly small to begin with. My WD 60GB drive with 2MB cache: /home/daniel 2hdparm /dev/hda /dev/hda:

The kernel 'knows' it's name, and all packages that install kernel modules also look at the same version that the kernel in /usr/src/linux knows (/usr/src/linux/include/version.h (or something of the sort)), so changing the name and recompiling works just fine and dandy. --Brandon On Thu,

Thanks for your reply. So, not only is this OK, but it's a good idea if I want to experiment with different kernels from the same source, yes? Otherwise, if I compiled two kernels from the vanilla-sources, wouldn't the modules from the second clobber those from the first? The kernel 'knows'

Thanks; one more question before I go experiment. If I've got CONFIG_KMOD=y in my .config file after configuring my kernel, how do I take advantage of it? Documentation/kmod.txt says to use the following command to set the path to modprobe: echo /sbin/modprobe

Unfortunately, I'm not sure about this, as I have never used kernel module autoloading :-\ good luck! :) (My understanding is that this means that MANY module needs can be automatically detected and loaded and unlaoded as needed in this manner, but I'm not real clear on it) --Brandon On Thu,
