Hopefully these steps work cause they are what I have done with my attempts so far :)
First, go to www.kernel.org to get the 2.4.20 kernel. I grabbed the one at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/ Install in your /usr/src or where ever. Next grab the latest bridge-nf patch which I believe has a rev right for the .20 release. (Question: Do you *need* to install ebtables patch if all you want to do is use the ability to target underlying physical devices in rules?) I am not sure if you patched your current kernel yourself or not, but what I did was go into the /usr/src/linux-2.4.20 directory (where I untarred) and did: patch -p1 < PATCHDIFFFILENAME I next did: make mrproper (I think it does some cleanups) make menuconfig (select kernel options, including bridge) make dep make bzImage make modules make modules_install make install You should check your /etc/grub.conf or other loader to make sure you have the .20 as a boot option. Do not remove the prior entry either, imho, because you may need to boot from it if you go and recompile the kernel again (as your new build would overwrite active modules if you ran the .20). Just some thoughts, fire away! -Scott --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi, > > I have a situation where I use bridge-nf with kernel > 2.4.19 that it works > well; I would now have intention of upgrade the > kernel to 2.4.20, but this > involves me a few of confusion. > What the essential footsteps are for proceeding to > this upgrade, that is > not alone for a matter of kernel, but also of whole > S.O. ? > > > Regards, > Claudio Mantegna __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
