2.4.3 kernel

2.4.3 kernel

[George Gensure]

Can anyone explain to me how the 2.4.3 kernel available on ftp.rfc822.org was
built? I've been working for about a month and a half on getting that to
compile with no success.  The only reason I need it is to get input core
support, since linux doesn't like to recognize any device nodes that I create
using mknod.  If anyone could shed some light on either of these problems...
the kernel or getting linux to recognize my mouse on (10,1) please contact me.

No, you won't.  No linux kernel in common distribution will even load
on that box.

Ask me again in a few days; I've just managed to get linux to see the
disks on that machine.  Check the archives for my post indicating
where my CVS tree is kept; it has as much O2 support as any tree I
know about.  Maybe you'd like to download it and tell me why it
doesn't work.

If this is r10k/r12k O2, you have an even longer wait as I haven't got
such a system and there are extra problems supporting it.

Whats your exact problem ? I made the kernel and i dont think i had
greater problems. Everything needed should be in the tar (config etc)
except some patches which should be in the cvs by now.

     Why is it called "common sense" when nobody seems to have any?

Upgrade kernel from release 2.2.1 to 2.4.?

[Hua Wen]

Hi,

We made changes to linux/MIPS kernel 2.2.1 for our
system and it's been running well so far. We now
plan to upgrade the kernel to 2.4.X. The question
we have is:

Which sub release of 2.4 is more stable and is
recommended to use? 

>From http://oss.sgi.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/linux,
I can see available tags for kernel 2.4 are:
linux_2_4_4, linux_2_4_3, linux_2_4_2,
linux_2_4_0...

Thanks in advance for your advice!

I suggest you use the latest CVS head.  So far it is usually the head that has
the most bug fixes, and really not much dramatic stuff introduced.

Re: Upgrade kernel from release 2.2 to 2.4.?

[Hua Wen]

Thank you very much, Jun.

One more thing -- we've made quite some changes in
2.2.1 so I wonder what would be the best way to
upgrade. I'm thinking:

1> check out new kernel, use "merge directories"
function from emacs, or

2> use "cvs import" to import the new kernel to
our local cvs repository, then merge with our
local changes by "cvs update/co -j"..

Any comments/suggestions?

Thanks!

Hmm, there is so much difference between 2.2.x and 2.4.x. I would think any
merging effort would be a nightmare.  Let alone later debugging effort.

The best thing is probably to extract what you *have* changed, and apply those
changes back to the current tree.
