Kernel Image 2.2.7
Steve,
I am running a 2.0.35 on a Sparc Classic, updated potato. Running well.
I decided to compile/upgrade to 2.2.7, so downloaded
kernel-source-2.2.7
Ran make-kpkg (took over a day to compile). Installed the .deb, and silo
refused to boot (After uncompressing, machine stops at "Booting Linux").
I assumed there was a problem in compiling it, so set it aside.
In the meantime, glibc 2.1 turned up, dselect started to upgrade it, from
2.0.105-2 to 2.1.1-2 (both glibc and glibc-dev). The glibc 2.1 pre-inst
script wants kernel 2.2.x
Ah well, So I think I shall use someone else's kernel-image, and hey
presto, here is Steve's 2.2.7. Download install, reboot, same problem
(stops at Booting Linux).
Current status:
Kernel 2.0.35
Sparc Classic
--- Brokenly installed packages ---
----- Broken Standard packages -----
------- Broken Standard packages in section devel -------
U== Std devel libc6-dev 2.1.1-2 2.1.1-2 GNU C Library: Developmen
--- Updated packages (newer version is available) ---
----- Updated Required packages -----
------- Updated Required packages in section base -------
*== Req base libc6 2.0.105-2 2.1.1-2 GNU C Library: Shared lib
Should I forcibly install glibc 2.0.105? How?
Thanks,
