Hi, I try to compile a new kernel, because I need the modules for the 3ware raid controllers.
What have I done: I installed - kernel-package - kernel-source-2.4.18 - fakeroot I downloaded from kernel.org actual kernel 2.4.20 and ia64 patch. Then I have done: fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image dpkg -i ../kernel-image-2.4.20_custom.1.0_ia64.deb First problem, the vmlinuz-2.4.20 file is 27MB big. Is that ok? Next problem, elilo states something like can't use /dev/sdb1. Would destroy /dev/sdb1. /dev/sdb1 is mounted (/dev/sdb1 is /boot) I have done the following manually: cp /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20 /boot/efi/debian/vmlinuz Is it ok that there are 3 points where the kernel is /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20 /boot/efi/debian/vmlinuz /vmlinuz (sym link) How can I start vmlinuz.old at boot time ? Is there a documentation I should read about this ? - markus
