If you want to mess around with current 2.5 kernels you really should subscribe to and follow the linux-kernel mailinglist for a few weeks. The 2.5 series is in complete flux right now. One of the things is that the whole loadable modules stuff is being replaced, and with the current 2.5.50 kernel modules probably don't work at all unless you get the latest alpha module utilities (which are not compatible with 2.4, bla bla) and install them manually .. chances are you may not be able to boot 2.4 anymore after that. >after compiling/intalling: request_module[ide-disk]: not ready >kernel panic >does anyone have any idea how to interpret this? Yes, 2.5.50 is a developers kernel and many things simply do not work. I've tried to run 2.5.x on and off on some of our servers for the last few months - under load, they don't survive for more than one or a few days before panicking and possibly corrupting the filesystem(s).
