Re: kernel-source2.0.33
Hi,
There is a problem if you are re-installing a kernel with the
same version number (and not using Flavours ;-). From the
kernel-package README file:
______________________________________________________________________
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.
People who want to have multiple flavours of the same kernel version
around should look at the file /usr/doc/kernel-package/Flavours.gz for
details (Note: This involves modifying the kernel sources top level
Makefile; not recommended unless you are *sure* you need it).
