Hi , it may be a newbie question, but is there a how-to, or other documentation how to build a custom kernel rpm/ src.rpm ,
i tried to build a kernel based on kernel-2.4-linus, but when the build proccess got to depmod after compressing the modules, it failed with a lot of bla bla .gz is not elf format, so i had to remove the compression of the modules. How should i try to fix this. i also wanted to ask are there some patches, which are needed for normal operation of a MDK system. like alsa-driver(should i downgrade to 0.9b8), sgi's xfs, (2.5's ntfs is it needed? ), supermount ( where could i find patches for 2.4.20? ), what else ? also how the ... works the naming of the package, i ended today with kernel-2.4.20my-kernel.i586.rpm, with modules in /lib/modules/2.4.20my-kernel but 'uname -r' gave me 2.4.20-my-kernel, so it couldn't find the modules for info on the kernel i'm cooking visit: http://varna.demon.co.uk/~svetlio/aivils2/contrib/index.html#kernel for more info on the project: official site: http://startx.times.lv/ my modified version: http://varna.demon.co.uk/~svetlio/aivils2/ hm, one more question, it probably not the right place but i'll try also here :) could some one help me for this project, with compiling some packages on MDK-8.2 & MDK-9.0 ? see : http://varna.demon.co.uk/~svetlio/aivils2/contrib/index.html#Contributed_Packages http://varna.demon.co.uk/~svetlio/aivils2/contrib/index.html#Mandrake thanks a lot regards, svetljo
