Re: kernel upgrade to 2.4.18

1.) Don't both with linking to linux. Just:

cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18
make menuconfig
make-kpkg

2.) Don't use --revision to note the kernel version; make-kpkg will do
that for you. Use --revision if you want to tag it to specific config
options you've used. I generally do:

make-kpkg --revision ofcx.y

where x.y is a version of my configuration, NOT of the kernel itself.

Hope this helps.

Hi everybody.

I running Debian Woody ( kernel 2.2.20) and I trying
to upgrade to kernel 2.4.18...
a did an apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.18 ) just perfect.

the kerbel-source was saved at /usr/src... I created a dir called
linux and a ln -s to the unzipped source ( /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18)
when I give a make-kpkg --revision kernel.2.4.18 it says that the source
is not at the top of the linux kernel directory. ( I've already installed the
latest kernel-package)

what am I doing wrong?!
does anyone have an make-kpkg example?!

I think its more of a sintax error... ( I writing something wrong)

I've checked the kernel how0to section at the documentation
page....

I did all that was especified, but I can't tell if i running the new kernel...
i went to /etc/lilo.conf and there was a line showing vmlinuz and another
showing vmlinuz.old...
is there any command I can use to see what kernel I'm using?!

regards.
