[kernel install with --oldpackage]
I'm working on the 760 revision right now now. It takes a long time to compile all this stuff, probably a few more hours.
btw, just in case I haven,t mentioned that: THANKS! :)
You can do this: rpm -ivh --force kernel-2.6.10-1.741_no4kstacks.rpm
have done,...
(This is the same as using --oldpackage.) This will install the kernel without overwriting the existing one. There will be a new entry in grub.conf that will let you choose the newly-installed kernel at boot time.
...correct...
The fedora kernel packages are designed to allow more than one to be installed at a time. For example, rpm won't complain if you install the 741_no4kstacks kernel and then install the 760 kernel; they'll exist side by side. The "--force" flag just lets you do it in a different order.
...which is what I was not sure (and not trying to test it the hard way) of - thanks for claryfying! :)
It's probably best to avoid apt in this case. Enjoy!
Enjoy I do: TV on my screen! WHOOOOOOWHOOOOOOOO! :)
No sound, but at least something - like, e.g., no lockup, when not loading modules with 'sleep' or by hand - hehehehe :)
Winston, thanks, good work! :)
Now, could someone _please_ tell me what entries in modprobe.conf (FC3 here) are _supposed_ to be? After spending too much time of the recent weekend stumbling through dozens of mails of different lists, I don,t know what should be going into modprobe.conf by design?
TIA, and thanks for the work,
tobi... :)
