Currently I got the 2.6 kernel installed, but genkernel asks me to pass the options "boot=/dev/ram0 real_boot=/dev/hda6", I tried but it dont work so I switched back to 2.4.20.

Is there a way to get newer kernels ?


I stick with www.kernel.org. Don't use genkernel, unless you configure your system exactly the way
genkernel expects it, you will probably run into trouble. With kernel 2.6 they dumped "make dep"
anyway, and "make" builds the bzImage and the modules - this makes kernel compilation so simple
that there shouldn't be any need for a script doing obscure things. To install, I need one cp, one lilo,
and one "make modules_install" command. Not overly difficult either! ;-)


I have no need for a boot partition or initrd either, my sys is booting right off a 75GB reiserfs partition, with
reiser support compiled into the kernel and just about everything else I need as a module.
