kernel-2.4.6 re-build steps
After installing Debian and upgrading to kernel 2.6.4 my system booted
but the sound did not work for emu10k1. I apt-get kernel-source-2.6.4
and ran make menuconfig, selected the sound/emu10k1 drivers and drivers
for my network card and USB masstorage device. Then after saving to
.config I ran make;make install;make modules_install. I have grub
installed and checked the parameters in menu.lst, checked the /boot
directory and / links to /boot. All seemed ok. However when I boot this
new kernel I get a system panic.
A plethoria of ERROR: Module xxxx *snip*
ext3 disagrees about version of symbolic struct module *snip*
FATAL ERROR: inserting ext3
(lib/modules/2.6.4-1-386/kernel/fs/ext3/ext3.ko) : Invalid module format
*snip*
mount : fs type ext3 not supported by kernel *snip*
kernel Panic: Attempted to kill init! *snip*
Whooha! I have re-compiled the 2.6.x kernel on other distros without
this problem. I did include ext3 in the config file.
What is the best way to clean this up and re-start the kernel build
under Debian? now the orginal 2.6.4 kernel which did boot but no sound
won't boot either. However the 2.4.25 kernel still boots.
I really don't want to re-start the Debian install from scratch.
