First and foremost, as the issue will probably demonstrate I'm
relative to Linux, so bare with me.
Basically I am trying to get FreeSwan to run as server, but can't get
the patch to work.
All my system's are running debian 3.0r0, and kernel 2.4.18 (my own make).
My System(s):
1) HP Netserver LS 5/166: 2 Intel Pentium 166, 128 MB RAM, running stable.
2) Pentium III-550, 128 MB RAM, running unstable/testing
3) Pentium 200 MMX , 64 MB RAM, running stable.
For you freeswan people(this message was cross posted to freeswan and
debian mail lists). Debian has its own method of installing/making a
kernel, and although I can compile one with what I assume to be the
regular way, I'd prefer to do it the Debian way, and I am having
problems with that.
Anyway I can succesfully complete and install a compiled kernel, but I
am only trying to add a freeswan patch, so I have no idea if it's just
my syntax or the specific package.
I have the freeswan kernel patch, it exists in
/usr/src/kernel-patches/all/, aswell it exists in .../apply and
.../unpatch.
I then proceed to the kernel build directory and type make-kpkg
--added-patches freeswan kernel_image, then install it dpkg -i
(filename). I have also tried 'set PATCH_THE_KERNEL=YES' also tried
sticking something akin to that in the .config file to know avail. I
have searched google, can't find the guide I had a long time ago (been
trying for a few months). Anyone have any ideas, or can point me
towards a guide, that will go STEP by STEP.
Thanks,
Steve Ramage.
