apt-get install linux-source-2.6.22 cd /usr/src tar xvjf linux-source-2.6.22.tar.bz2 > Also havn't got the right name for make-kpkg apt-get install kernel-package I haven't read the whole thread. Are you really going to compile linux on a slug? Do you have a fatslug? Please note this will definitely take ages and might abort due to low memory. > And finally which are the config files to boot into the new kernel. > I've looked for both lilo and grub. lilo and grub are for x86 and no good for arm. The slug boots its kernel and ramdisk from flash rom. The trick is to use the program "flash-kernel". This is probably done automatically if you use make-kpkg to build a kernel .deb and install that. Make sure by watching the postinst messages and looking for a line that says something like "kernel and ramdisk sucessfully flashed". r elase just invoke that program manually after installing the new kernel. > I'd like to get that bit right before rebooting, else I might not be > able to get back into it. Just make a backup of the flash contents before and copy that to another machine. If the new kernel refuses to boot, you can upslug your backup. cheers Kevin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
