I find that inserting a stock kernel into a machine originally running a distro (RH, Mandrake etc) is often a painful and unrewarding experience. My personal preference these days is to get the source RPM for the kernel for the target distro. Then modify the spec file to patch the kernel the way I want it (e.g. Mandrake 8.2 you must _remove_ the HTB2 patches, and add the HTB3 patches and the IMQ patches). Build the RPM and you now have a way to upgrade the kernel and modules on any machine running that distro, guaranteed to work with the user space code, since the kernel is identical to what was there before, modulo the desired patches.

That is only true for distros that do heavy patching of stock kernels, which is bad IMHO. For example Debain only patches the kernel to fix bad bugs discovered after kernel release and to exclude non-free data from kernel. Thus the stock kernel works perfectly fine on a Debian system AND if you run unstable you can get Debian versions of kernels in few days after kernel release. -- Best regards, Aigars Mahinovs mailto:aigarius@debian.org #--------------------------------------------------# | .''`. | | : :' : Debian GNU/Linux | | `. `' http://www.debian.org | | `- | #--------------------------------------------------# --=.VIm:U4AR0dFaTN Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iQIXAwUBPb0iHKGOGKy2xwh7FAKusQf9EYtVSm7t8lgJoR6GwA1aRLeQGpdWnVmj siju0I9Z6zvfQXozpUJ2KWzIl11F/havvuQp3rK1ig2b6cDjDScKGcnMvmKkUzxI c9Jms/LGLoIrm35SywT0zHuWO6IU0mR+rSW7mTb8kXYaeupL1ZbEAdJZkTnbQxmd qrYMETFOmZD9areNt4De4D16SUeOFqEFB0TQuwS0ip985wfxNBifWMv0wEuTVxu+ JJ3jHTmbYn1prrTUeaqPvKSLjWkv0jhFr3GSqXtI7mJh55jlB/aQo6QQkkG7Y9Aq 0zxXa5IfG2BTwA92kVdaKgbQAC86oeZuvsIbURfjuN86G3PlbsuxiQf/eIPBuTP1 +Ah6PCv9bI6ESjK30jlFG7di/KZSmSHng5J5CX2hzC5d2tTvg0kjdyyNHuJkOZfJ PlIZGFwNDAEIQbib/GMzMYzud/Y7dzOtyI51dGgt6OPaItXoob9G/smFPgpiNCuJ 94pidqjI/C7fhQvwTNurQXf5KaBwL3C4WGvlfqOKDPvJCooJPnpGbj58SlioN80J IT2uuCZa/CnFhhiAtHghryOjM5jypiS+5huBu8wtys0H4mRU+Od9zPxtS84YovU0 vBtDmb9hnm6TDUypImJPFJJ7bTVq6QSeLUsB/mOcQD8a0HOlSqg1s5n1GYdWI6vk pk34RJP4DmOs6A== =CZ27 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=.VIm:U4AR0dFaTN--
