The best kernel I've used so far is a kernel.org 2.4.21 with the Con Kolivas
ck3 patches. I use the base ck3, then add all the performance patches, and
the upgraded supermount patch. These work great. I compile as user in
/home/kernels/linux-2.4.21, and after "make install_modules as root I don't
use "make install," so I manually have to copy bzImage to
/boot/bzImage-2.4.21-ck3, and System.map to /boot/System.map-2.4.21-ck3. I
don't use an initrd for this kernel, and when I edit lilo, I delete the
initrd line, so my new stanza looks like this:
image=/boot/bzImage-2.4.21-ck3
label=2421ck3
root=/dev/hda10
append="devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi acpi=off quiet"
vga=788
read-only
I just copy the original MDK stanza to the bottom and edit the copy. Then run
lilo as root. Of course, I also clean out and edit my stock MDK .config file
when I do make xconfig, to reflect my hardware. I just run make xconfig after
applying the ck patches, and import a copy of MDK's .config, and then do my
editing. This procedure works fine for me.
