Hi!
How can I change from a 2.4 kernel to a 2.6 kernel and what implications would that get on my applications installed.
I tried to find a similar thread since I shouldn't be the first one who wants to do this. I don't feel like installing gentoo from scratch since it took me quite sometime to download all applications.
bash-2.05b# uname -a
Linux mycomputer 2.4.25-gentoo-r1 #1 Tue May 25 00:06:01 MEST 2004 i686 AMD Duron(tm) processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

I think that says it all: | Code: | * After installing a new kernel of any version, it is important
* that you have the appropriate /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-X.Y
* created (X.Y is the first 2 parts of your new kernel version)
* For example, this kernel will require:
* /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
* If you are upgrading from a previous kernel, you may be interested
* in the following documents:
* - General upgrade guide: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kernel-upgrade.xml
* - 2.4 to 2.6 migration guide: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/migration-to-2.6.xml |

I beleive you are right. Thanks.
As always the important thing is always were to look. The rest is just reading and trial and error. Hopefully with as little error as possible but since I am impatient usually I don't read enough before trying. |
