 |
|
Hello all,
When I was going through the install I emerged a different kernel than I wanted. I was wanting the openmosix, but I was just blindly following the steps and loaded the gentoo-sources kernel instead. I didn't realize this until I'd copied the bzImage to /boot.
| Code: | # emerge sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
# cd /usr/src/linux
# make menuconfig
# make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install
# cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot
|
I'm not very familiar with how kernels work, or in other words, I haven't complied kernels that often to understand how to replace them. My question to you is at this point how would I get the openmosix kernel complied and installed? Would all I have to do is follow the above code entires again but just load the correct kernel this time?
Thanks for the feedback,
LK |

so are you still working from the install cd?
if you are... | Code: | | #rm -rf /usr/src/linux |
and | Code: | | #rm -rf /usr/src/linux-2.blahblahblah |
the second being the actually directory, the first is a symlink to it. then emerge the sources you wanted in the first place recompile the kernel cp to boot..it will overwrite the old (wrong) bzImage |

No, don't rm -rf it. You want to "emerge unmerge gentoo-sources" -- that way Portage won't try to download updates for it in a future emerge -u world. Then just emerge openmosix-sources, and you should be all set.

| Code: | | emerge unmerge gentoo-sources |
When I did this it said it "Could not find any matching installed packages".
Should I asume it is safe to continue to emerge the correct kernel?
Thanks,
