I would use the vanilla kernel unless you know exactly what patches are in opensuse's kernel and you want to keep track of them. Of course, if you know that there is some driver that opensuse has added that's not in the vanilla kernel, then I suppose you can try to use the .src.rpm. > however the im not using .config from suse because it not bootable > (kernel panic) > so i using .config from vectorlinux and it works (bootable) > are this is legal? Any .config you want to use is perfectly legal (the kernel source will add/remove any config settings it needs with the defaults). The reason your suse config doesn't work is because it expects to use an initramfs to load your the kernel modules for your hard drive. You'll need to build those into the kernel unless you want to make an initramfs, too. If you have no experience with an initramfs, I'd suggest just building stuff into the kernel. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
