Chan,
I this is my first time to use debian. Well, at least this is the first
time I try to get my hands dirty with debian. I was (am) a RedHat-er.
I did the `suggested' way to upgrade kernel by these way (this is my log)
* Install debian (no update)
- make some necessaary changes
# apt-get install vim
# alias vi=vim
* Update kernel 2.4.18 from CD
- install gcc compiler
# apt-get install gcc
- install libncurses5 and lincurses5-dev for make menuconfig
# apt-get install libncurses5 libncurses5-dev
- install kernel-package. Built-in package for kernel installation
(to make image file) so you can use `make-kpkg kernel_image'
# apt-get install kernel-package
- install the kernel-source
# apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.18
- preparation
# cd /usr/src
# tar jxvf kernel-source-2.4.18.tar.bz2
# ln -s kernel-source-2.4.18 linux-2.4.18
# cd linux-2.4.18
- create linux <kernel-image>.deb from kernel-source
# make-kpkg kernel_image
- Just enter for all of the question :-) and get a cup of coffee
(Decaf, please! :-))
- install the <kernel-image>.deb and just follow the instructions
# cd ..
# dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.18_10.00.Custom_i386.deb
- restart
# init 6
- Shit! it doesn't worki! it freezes! by showing Loading Boot Parameters
- Restart again and press SHIFT to get LILO console then choose OLDLinux
Please help :-)
