Very amazing.
Does your /etc/modules.conf correctly configured ?
For me there's 2 methods :
+ install with rpm but keep the old kernel :
]# rpm -ivh --force kernel-headers-2.4.8-12mdk.i586.rpm
]# rpm -ivh kernel-source-2.4.8-12mdk.i586.rpm
]# rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.8-12mdk.i586.rpm
]# /usr/share/loader/make-initrd 2.4.8-12mdk
after I modify /etc/lilo.conf or /boot/grub/menu.lst :
+ /etc/lilo.conf :
I had this :
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.8-12mdk
label=linux-248-12mdk
root=/dev/sdb6
initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.4.8-12mdk
append=" hdc=ide-scsi devfs=mount"
read-only
For the previuos kernel, I replace the symlinks (vmlinuz , initrd.img ) by
their realnames ( vmlinuz-2.4.x-ymdk, initrd.img-2.4.x-ymdk ). It's because
of the fact that the symlinks point now to the new kernel.
If you upgrade from a Mandrake 8.0, x = 3 and y = 20
+ /boot/grub/menu.lst :
I had this :
title linux-248-12mdk
kernel (hd2,0)/vmlinuz-2.4.8-12mdk root=/dev/sdb6 hdc=ide-scsi
devfs=mount
initrd (hd2,0)/initrd-2.4.8-12mdk.img
Same manipulation for the names.
If you want to erase a version of the kernel , for exemple the kernel
2.4.u-vmdk :
rpm -e --nodeps kernel-source-2.4.u-vmdk
rpm -e --nodeps kernel-headers-2.4.u-vmdk
rpm -e --nodeps kernel-2.4.u-vmdk
devfs=mount : to activate devfs, optionnal if you don't want to test it
hdc=ide-scsi : to emulate my IDE CD writer in a SCSI CD writer
+install with rpm but overwrite the old kernel :
]# rpm -Uvh --force kernel-headers-2.4.8-12mdk.i586.rpm
]# rpm -Uvh kernel-source-2.4.8-12mdk.i586.rpm
]# rpm -Uvh kernel-2.4.8-12mdk.i586.rpm
or
]# urpmi kernel-source
]# urpmi kernel
after just to be sure :
]# /usr/share/loader/make-initrd 2.4.8-12mdk
Normaly the boot loader has been updated and the symlinks point to the new
kernel, but If you want you can make the same manipulation concerning the
fact to replace the symlinks names by the right names, etc ...
this options is less secure as if you have a pb with this kernel ....
You'd better have in this case a vanilla kernel compiled by you.
