I'm trying to upgrade a stock redhat7 machine to 2.2.17: Here's exactly what I've done. downloaded 2.2.17, and the idepatch. cd /usr/src/linux tar -czvf ~/oldkernelsourcebackup.tgz linux rm -fR linux 2.2.16* tar -xzvf ~/linux.2.2.17.tgz cd linux patch -p1 < ~/idepatch edited Makefile to change: CC=kgcc #HOSTCC =gcc HOSTCC =kgcc #CC =$(CROSS_COMPILE)cc -D__KERNEL__ -I$(HPATH) CC =$(CROSS_COMPILE)kgcc -D__KERNEL__ -I$(HPATH) make mrproper make clean make menuconfig make dep make clean make bzImage make modules make modules_install cd /boot cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17 cp /usr/src/linux/System.map /boot/System.map-2.2.17 rm -f /boot/initrd-2.2.17.img /sbin/mkinitrd initrd-2.2.17.img 2.2.17 mkinitrd dies here with "No module aic7xxx found for kernel 2.2.17" I had specified that aic7xxx be compiled directly into it: CONFIG_SCSI_AHA152X=y CONFIG_SCSI_AHA1542=y CONFIG_SCSI_AHA1740=y CONFIG_SCSI_AIC7XXX=y CONFIG_AIC7XXX_TCQ_ON_BY_DEFAULT=y CONFIG_AIC7XXX_CMDS_PER_DEVICE=8 CONFIG_AIC7XXX_PROC_STATS=y CONFIG_AIC7XXX_RESET_DELAY=5 Ok, so I start over, specifying that it's compiled as a module. (I really don't want this, /dev/sda1 is off the scsi card, but I'll try anything at this point). mkinitrd again dies here with "No module aic7xxx found for kernel 2.2.17" I've tried doing the make modules && make modules_install *both* after the make bzImage and immediately before /sbin/mkinitrd initrd-2.2.17.img 2.2.17 thinking that maybe I had to place the .img and system.map files there while the modules were installed in /lib/modules. Doing this didn't help - mkinitrd still complained. Any suggestions? _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
