Re: Kernel Recompile
Hi,
From kernel-package documentation:
______________________________________________________________________
Now, there is a caveat: If you already have kernel 2.0.29 installed,
and you have a freshly created custom 2.0.29 kernel, just installing
the new 2.0.29 kernel shall install modules (as it should) in
/lib/modules/2.0.29, which is where the old modules were! If you have
added or removed modules relative to the old 2.0.29 kernel (very
likely if your old kernel was the default gigantic generic kernel),
then you shall have a mish-mash of modules in /lib/modules/2.0.29 ;-(
Unfortunately, there is no reasonable solution; I suggest moving the
old modules directory before installation, like so (need to be root):
# mv /lib/modules/2.0.29 /lib/modules/2.0.29.save
# dpkg -i kernel-image-2.0.29_custom.1.0_i386.deb
and later get rid of the .save directory.

What would you like kernel-package to do?
