Debian Kernel's and FreeSwan
Title: Message
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.
