Hi,
I feel as though I should know the answer to this but it's alluding me.
I want to upgrade the kernel on my ultrasparc. I've downloaded the
various packages that I need but when I looked for my config-2.4.18 it
wasn't there. (I installed this originally from a set of CDs)
Q. Is there a way to create the oldconfig file?
Depends. If it was not remove it must be somewhere in your
file system.
A script to find oldconfig to your current kernel. You may have
to modify this.
#!/bin/sh
set `uname -a`
CFG_F=config-$3
echo Your config: $CFG_F
# search for its pathname and assign to CFG_P
CFG_P=`find / -print | grep $CFG_F`
echo Your config lives in: $CFG_P
# cp $CFG_P /to/where/linux/.config
# cd /to/where/linux
# make oldconfig
# your newconfig is in /to/where/linux/.config
# your oldconfig is in /to/where/linux/.config.old
Hope this helps.
