up2date does kernels? Cool!
A search at RH for "kernel" only shows 2.2.17 and
2.2.16. Maybe they haven't gotten to releasing 2.2.18
as a production kernel yet. Thay've had the RawHide
project going for 2.4 for a couple months, but I
haven't played with that at
FWIW, I compiled the 2.4.1 kernel on my RH7 box with no problems...had
problems with the 2.4.0 kernel, but not with the 2.4.1.
I'm about to download 2.4.2, but since there was already a patch put out
for it, I'm holding out for a little bit.

It will if you tell it to. By default, it will not download any kernel.* files.
It'll download the source for you if you want. And that's what I'm referring to
anyways. So far, it's only listing 2.2.17-14, even though 2.
up2date will not update kernels. That is up to you.
Also, RedHat has only released through 2.2.17
officially, so if you want to go higher, you're on
your own.

I have a RH7.0 box that's currently running kernel 2.2.17. When I

If so, when?
Or, can I roll my own 2.2.18 (from source) with no problems? Are

I know you can 'make xconfig', or 'make menuconfig', etc. to help you
generate a .config file right before you compile a kernel. I just grabbed
the lastest 2.4-pre source. Does Redhat have a .config file floating out
there that would compile the new 2.4 series that would generally produce a

The way I do it is to compile the new kernel, edit /etc/lilo.conf and add

Run lilo and then when you boot yo ucan choose the new or old kernel at
the lilo prompt.

Get yourself the HOWTO's. They are on the 2nd cd with 6.2, or you can find
them on the ftp site somewhere under doc(s). Try the Kernel-HOWTO. Also read
man lilo.conf.

Hi,
I'm a final year
student doing my thesis... as part of my thesis I need to build and test network
protocols I
implement which would involve rebuilding the kernel. I need help on how to build
a test kernel but
not overwrite my current kernel. I also want to have the option of being
fx.o (full screen driver for my Voodoo3 3000 (when playing Q3A etc),
which I found a patch for last night)... I really should test test8 :P

Anyone got the latest development kernels booting with RH6.2? I get a problem
with /dev/log not being created (wrong family?) and hence, no syslog. Also,
when X starts I get a messages can't open display 'local/hostname:0'. Bit vague
I'm afraid but everything whizzes by. A
