 Posted: Fri Mar 16, 2007 12:49 pm Post subject: Are there any Linux 2.6.20 CDs? [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I need a CD based on the 2.6.20 kernel to be able to install Gentoo on my notebook, since it should contain the r1000 module. I have done some searching for a Linux boot CD based on the 2.6.20 (or later kernel), with no luck. Does anyone know of such a CD?
I assume it will be possible to install Gentoo from some other CD (if there are any)?
I really wish there was a 2007.0 release, it would solve this mess... Will there ever be one, do you think?

kernelOfTruth has offered LiveCDs based on the Gentoo ones but with updated kernels, at http://www.kernel-of-truth.net/downloads_kOT.html for some time | Quote: | r8 release of âsmall gentooâ (x86): [maintenance release]
this release contains kernel 2.6.20-viper4 (+exec-shield + atl1 kernel-module) |
and | Quote: |
amd64-release (r6) of âsmall gentooâ:
this release contains kernel 2.6.20-rc5 + several additional patches |
Not quite 2.6.20 but it may suit your purpose.
Installing Gentoo from another LiveCD (not Gentoo) is covered in The Gentoo Linux alternative installation method HOWTO following the Knoppix instructions: really, boot the LiveCD, get a terminal or go to the console (Ctrl-Shift-F1) and follow the manual. There are some things it says don't work on Knoppix but Sabayon, which is based on Gentoo, should have no problems.

Thanks all!
A friend of mine had an Ubuntu preview for their upcoming 7.04 release, and there the card worked out of the box.
