how to install 2.2.17
Hello,
My name is Sugawara from Japan.
I have questions about the installation process of the kernel with NCR5380
SCSI controller.
Please somebody give me the advice.
I have installed the potato kernel ver.2.2.10 in my IIfx with 20MB RAM.
When I didn't use another SCSI equipment, it works well.
Since I wanted to use CD-ROM drive, I decided to apply the 2.2.17 as the
document indicated.
Though I tried as follows, the IIfx didn't work.
1. I downloaded files of vmlinux and modules for ver.2.2.17.
2. I located the extracted module files of 2.2.17 under the directory
/target/lib/module/
Since there is already ver.2.2.10 directory in /target/lib/module/, I
removed it.
3. Reboot the system.
4. In the penguin booter, I changed the kernel file from "linux" to
"vmlinux" which was extracted from 2.2.17.
5. I booted the system, but it hanged up in the beginning of debian install
menu.
My questions are ;
1.Should the modules name of a directory be changed from 2.2.7 to 2.2.10?
2.Is it correct that selection the "vmlinux" file in the booter settings?
3.Should the link of "vmlinuz" in root directory to /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.10 be
changed to /boot/vmlinux which was 2.2.17 kernel downloaded ?
4.What was wrong with installation process?
Thank you in advance.
Bye.
