sucessfully. The kernel that I compiled doesn't successfully load.
It would be great to have a system that had all the required libs and mod-utilities to compile these kernels successfully. I hope that the next beta cycle includes these capabilities.
Well, to compile a 2.5 kernel you only need gcc-2.9x or gcc-3.2.x, make, Rusty's modutils and nothing else. It seems pretty easy :-)
I have gcc 3.2.1-7 installed. The kernel portion compiles without errors. I did a search for modutils and couldn't find one for the 2.5 kernel. I did grab and install modutils-2.4.24-1 from rusty's directories.
With these CDRs that you recorded. Did you try to use them in readers that were sort of written off, in earlier discussions, on this list?
I haven't actually tested the burned CD's on any other thing that two or three standard CD/DVD readers.
If I figure out how to get a suitable version of the modutils, I'll try to compile the kernel again. I'm not very much for programming. I have been able to compile kernels before, without much running around for mod-utils and such. earlier versions seemed to have the resources at hand. Of course, I was more interested in getting my ethernet, soundcard and different filesystems workable. I disregarded the modules aspect and just made them the part of the kernel.
I am more interested in the CDR benefits and increased performance within the GUI now. I'll probably need to figure out the modules aspect now.
For me, the modules seemed to compile and install. At least, according to the outputs to the screen. Now they fail with errors.
I'd like to burn a CDR that plays well in about any audio player, works great within foreign operating systems and is read without errors in the written off readers.
Don't know why burning with a 2.5 kernel should make any difference respect a 2.4 :-?
In my case, I seem to get garbage data burned to the cdrs. I think that the IDE control, over ide-scsi emulation would resolve this particular problem. This is from my assumption that the emulation is allowing the distortion, in data, that I am experiencing.
Though i'm in favor of working within the latest kernel build environment. I am getting that this 2.6 kernel can only be expedited through a whole distribution that caters to using the latest in kernel development, with the latest in the development of programs and GUI managers.
Uh? GUI managers? Development tools? To compile 2.5? I'm lost...
As a user, not a programmer. I was thinking that testing the full lot of programs, within the developmental kernel, would test the pros and cons of the current kernel development, with the program interactions. Sort of a full pool of influencing factors, tested fully. Interactions and developmental paths could be evaluated better. Programs would be caught, for breakage, earlier. Then the current stable versions could be patched, before the advance to the latest and greatest versions.
It sounds like a great time for a "Linux, on the edge" distribution. How else can someone gauge the best directions to take Linux, into the future?
Well, I'm running 2.5.66-m1 on Phoebe3, so if I can, you could too. No need for a "Linux on the edge" distribution: you can do it right now :-)
As a general user. I hope to catch onto the makings for getting a successful 2.5 kernel onboard my system. Thanks for the information. Now to get a working kernel! still searching for the modutils for 2.5.
