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.
