in my attempt to document some of the more obscure features of kernel construction, i'm sure i'm going to ask the occasional silly question, but here's the first.
i'm assuming that, at installation time, the kernel is installed from one of the pre-built kernel RPMs on the install CDs, yes? on psyche, the results of doing a "find" on anything kernel-related in the RPMs on the CDs came up with: ./1/RedHat/RPMS/kernel-utils-2.4-8.13.i386.rpm ./1/RedHat/RPMS/kernel-2.4.18-14.i586.rpm ./1/RedHat/RPMS/kernel-smp-2.4.18-14.i686.rpm ./1/RedHat/RPMS/kernel-2.4.18-14.i686.rpm ./1/RedHat/RPMS/kernel-2.4.18-14.athlon.rpm ./1/RedHat/RPMS/kernel-bigmem-2.4.18-14.i686.rpm ./1/RedHat/RPMS/kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-9.i386.rpm ./1/RedHat/RPMS/kernel-smp-2.4.18-14.athlon.rpm ./1/RedHat/RPMS/kernel-uml-2.4.18-14.i686.rpm ./2/RedHat/RPMS/kernel-source-2.4.18-14.i386.rpm ./3/RedHat/RPMS/kernel-doc-2.4.18-14.i386.rpm ./3/RedHat/RPMS/kernel-BOOT-2.4.18-14.i386.rpm ./3/RedHat/RPMS/kernel-debug-2.4.18-14.i686.rpm since the above output clearly represents the RPMs that came with red hat 8.0, it's not surprising that there are a number of pre-built kernel RPMs to cover the different possibilities (i586, i686, smp, athlon, etc.) but no generic "i386" kernel RPM. am i misunderstanding something here? what if i'm really installing on a true 386? which kernel will i get? or am i just confused? rday -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
