Re: simple way to BenH-nize my kernel @ iBook-Tangerine
This is an FAQ. The debian way to do it is to install kernel-package
and use that to make a kernel-image package.
1. apt-get install kernel_package (as root)
2. Download BenH's kernel some how. I use rsync.
3. unpack the kernel, if it isn't already. I usually put it in
/usr/src where its expected.
4. cd /usr/src/linux
(The following are done as root, or use fakeroot or sudo or something.)
5. make menuconfig (you'll need libncurses5-dev for this)
6. configure your kernel. (do you know what you need and do you know
your hardware?)
7. make-kpkg clean
8. make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image
If everything goes well, there should be a
kernel-image-2.4.1*_custom.1.0_powerpc.deb package in /usr/src.
9. dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.1*_custom.1.0_powerpc.deb
10. Reboot computer and pray! (or play around with yaboot and set up
a second backup linux kernel to boot from.)
Have I missed anything??
Good Luck.
