Hello!
I decided to try new development kernel. :) And i have some questions already.
First.
I had a linux-2.5.63.tar.bz2 on my HDD, so i thought that it would be less
time for me if I just patch it rather then downloading full version. So i
downloaded three patches (up to 2.5.66) and done the upgrade. Patch process
went with no error or warning at all for all three patch files. :).
After that i tarred and bzipped resulting directory tree, and put
linux-2.5.66.tar.bz2 file into /usr/portage/distfiles directory.
And now sad things - emerge told me that md5 sum isn't correct :(. Then i
found, that i didn't include top level directory (i.e. linux-2.5.66/) in tar
file. I've done so, but... ooops... the same error :(. And even size of files
were different.
Well, i compiled it without emerging :). And everything compiled FINE! Just
wondering why md5sums don't match.
Anyway i have anoter questions:
- Kernel booted OK, but alsa doesn't found my SBLive card (support for it was
compiled in for sure). It says:
ALSA device list:
No sound cards found.
Why it might be? :( With 2.4.20 all works OK.
- Most irritating - at each boot (i booted 2 times with new kernel) my system
clock ADVANCED to a DAY and couple of HOURS FORWARD!!! So now is April 6. :)
- Couldn't get any modules loaded:
depmod: QM_MODULES nod defined.
It seems that module-init-tools should help, but what if i'll boot my old
2.4.20 kernel? Will modprobe stuff work? As i understand, module-init-tools
replace that programs with newer versions for 2.5.xx kernels. Am I wrong?
Long letter i wrote.... )))) Hope I'll get answers for my questions. :) Please
help anyone :). I'm newbie in running unstable kernels :)).
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards, Dmitry.
