 |
|
How do I start on using the 2.5 kernel? I understand I need different modutils or something. What else is going to be different? I tried compiling a 2.5 kernel before but it wouldn't even compile. Now I want to try again and make sure I start out with all the things I need.

To get a 2.5 kernel working you need to emerge module-init-tools (from kernel version 2.5.4 I think).
About your problems, I suggest you to try to configure and compile it and eventually post error messages.

yes that is right just | Code: | emerge development-sources
emerge module-init-tools |
and change the link of /usr/src/linux to your new kernel in this case the last one is 2.5.65 so you do:
| Code: | | ln -sf /usr/src/linux-2.5.65 /usr/src/linux |
then just do the normal kernel compilation...

This is not mandatory, I think. It's needed mainly by packages that need to install kernel modules right?
