Good day. I installed SuSE 7.2 using lilo on a boot disk. I changed from the default kernel and used the source from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mantel/next
and compiled linux-2.4.19.SuSE-12.tar.bz2. At first there was en error in the compile because I wanted a monolithic kernel, so I disabled kernel modules. But since SuSE's kernel also had patches-2.4.19.SuSE, I figured they needed to install some modules. So I enabled kernel modules. Take note that I'm booting from a floppy lilo, so I tried many times before I got below 960 bytes, enough to fit a floppy. features that I left out as modules instead of built-in were: CONFIG_IP_NF_MANGLE CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_TOS CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_MARK CONFIG_SOUND CONFIG_SOUND_FUSION I was able to boot eventually, but mk_initrd didn't work properly, I think. The message was something like image not loaded...something like that. when I type modprobe, no modules are listed. And how do I apply the suse-2.4.20 patch, if I try the 2.4.20 kernel? How do I avoid the message 'previously applied patch detected: Assume -R?', using patch -p0 < suse.2.4.xx... I actually tried the SuSE 2.4.20 kernel first, but since there was a patches file besides the suse-2.4.20.tar.bz2(three bz2 files together with the main kernel linux-2.4.20-12.tar.bz2) How does one properly use mk_initrd for SuSE? I want to get the boxed SuSE with grub, by the way. Anyone willing to have his copy CD-burned? am willing to cover expenses of blank CD... SuSE 8.1 or SuSE 8.2...Professional ha.... thanks. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
