Hello
>From my linux box(redhat5,kernel2.0.32) I went downloadin
linux-2.0.35.tar.gz . I created a /usr/src/linux2.0.35 directory where
I ve untarred it succesfully (in /usr/src, I already have directories
for kernel 2.0.32
and for 2.0.34). Then from /usr/src/linux2.0.35/linux, I did make
config( I enabled options for PPP ..etc)/make dep/make clean/make
modules, make modules_install, and make zImage. I ve copied
/usr/src/linux2.0.35/arch/i386/boot to
/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.35, added a new stanza in /etc/lilo.conf and I also
have a copy of my kernel-2.0.35
zImage on a floppy.
I) Basically, I chose to recompile kernel-2.0.35 for PPP support .
But when loading kernel-2.0.35, I do not see any difference with the
other previous kernels (exple:2.0.32 that had PPP loaded as a module) :
I still do not have the "PPP registered Line.." bootime argument .
I) Same problem occured with recompilin previous kernel versions
(2.0.30,2.0.32,..etc)
for PPP support. It seems that PPP is definitely there lo be loaded as
module, and that there's no way to have it compiled in kernel. Am I
wrong???
II)As far as I know, I can leave my original kernel 2.0.32 on my hard
drive and have in its /usr/src directory, directories for
my kernel-2.0.34, kernel-2.0.35..etc). From floppy, for ie, I can decide
bootin with the kernel version of my choice.
Is that correct??
Thanks for help
