- -------------
* 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 work! It freezes! Error below
LILO 22.2 Loading Linux................
Uncompression Linux... Ok, Booting the kernel
- Restart again and press SHIFT to get LILO console then choose
OLDLinux
June 12, 2003
- -------------
* (Still) Update kernel 2.4.18 from CD
- Restart again and press SHIFT to get LILO console then choose
OLDLinux
- Login as usual
- trying to get `current' configuration from 2.2.x kernel (default)
# cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.18
# make oldconfig
- Again, compile the kernel (create the <kernel-image>.deb)
# make-kpkg kernel_image
# cd ..
# dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.18_10.00.Custom_i386.deb
- Still Freezes! Trying to recompile (clean one) and get rid of initrf
# cd ..
# rm -rf linux-2.4.18
# rm -rf kernel-source-2.4.18
# 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
# make oldconfig
- Get rid of initrd (Mmm seems that trough `make oldconfig' the
initrd is not loaded, So you don't need to go to `make menuconfig' to
deselect it.
# make-kpkg kernel_image
# cd ..
# dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.18_10.00.Custom_i386.deb
# init 6
- Wait... it Works! It was because initrd stuff.
