Kernel 2.6 compile: Comaptability
by jingsu-26n5VD7DAF2Tm46uYYfjYg＠public.gmane.org 26 Dec '03

26 Dec '03

I can't remember what module in question is being discussed here... But I finally got 2.6 running on my box, with all the creature comfort options (sound, graphics, etc) running. I *think* the things that are needed are: new utils: as mentioned before, new modutils, e2fs, psutil, etc... new modutils: I think you need the newer modutils first before doing 'make module_install'. I had trouble with loading modules even with the new modutils until I recompiled and reinstalled the modules again out of frustration, at which point they worked file. renamed modules: (on my redhat box), under /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, look for the line containing: modprobe keybdev modprobe mousedev gotta replace them with modprobe uhci_hcd modprobe usbkbd modprobe usbmouse look for line containing: mount -n -t proc /proc /proc add line afterwards: mount -n -t sysfs /sys /sys (remember to make the directory /sys/ as root before rebooting) Those are the basic things I think that got the mouse and keyboard working. I'm also running Alsa using the OSS compatability. -Jing On Fri, 26 Dec 2003, Paul King wrote: > Date: Fri, 26 Dec 2003 22:07:01 -0500 > From: Paul King <pking123-rieW9WUcm8FFJ04o6PK0Fg at public.gmane.org> > Reply-To: tlug-lxSQFCZeNF4 at public.gmane.org > To: tlug-lxSQFCZeNF4 at public.gmane.org > Subject: Re: [TLUG]: Kernel 2.6 compile: Comaptability? > > Forget it.

Kernel 2.6 compile: Comaptability?

26 Dec '03

Forget it. I know where it is now. I see that I needed to update e2fsprogs and procps, but that was tangential to the main problem: the modules wouldn't load. I recall this was posted earlier (by Jing Su) without much reply. I installed the latest e2fsprogs, and got the same problem. No drivers except what was already compiled in; no mouse; no sound. There was a complaint from modprobe about some function or other not being present during the boot sequence. The newer version of modutils didn't change or eliminate this error. e2fsprogs, FWIW, is installed in the latest version (1.35-WIP, whatever "WIP" means). I see all my partitions, so I would suppose the "WIP" part is unimportant in my case -- I could find nothing on the abbreviation. Subject: [TLUG]: Kernel 2.6 compile: Comaptability?

Compiling the 2.6 kernel
by jason-gaRZxGPHtpBxZtjKW1aY+1aTQe2KTcn/＠public.gmane.org 26 Dec '03

26 Dec '03

I came across this handy information and figured I would pass it on, There are a number of utilities that you will have to upgrade for them to work properly with your new 2.6 kernel. Some of the utilities listed in 'Changes' you won't have to worry about, as for example they may be specific to certain filesystems. However, you will at least need to meet the minimum version requirements for the following (see 'Documentation/Changes' for the latest requirements -- they may have changed!): Name: Minimum version: How to find version: Gnu C Compiler 2.95.3 gcc --version Gnu Make 3.78 make --version binutils 2.12 ld -v util-linux 2.10o fdformat --version module-init-tools 0.9.9 depmod -V procps 2.0.9 ps --version [procps 2.x] [procps 3.x] The following utilities are filesystem specific. If you're running ext2 or ext3, be sure to update your e2fsprogs, if you're running jfs, be sure to update jfsutils, etc... Name: Minimum version: How to find version: e2fsprogs 1.29 tune2fs jfsutils 1.0.14 fsck.jfs -V reiserfsprogs 3.6.3 reiserfsck -V 2>&1 | grep reiserfsprogs xfsprogs 2.1.0 xfs_db -V nfs-utils 1.0.5 showmount --version And a handful of other utilities that you'll want to update if you use them: Name: Minimum version: How to find version: pcmcia-cs 3.1.21 cardmgr -V quota-tools 3.09 quota -V PPP 2.4.0 ppd --version isdn4k-utils 3.1pre1 isdnctrl 2>&1 | grep version oprofile 0.5.3 oprofiled --version If you're going to be running ALSA for the first time, also be sure to visit http://www.alsa-project.org/ to grab the latest alsa-lib and alsa-utils. A working NVidia driver with 2.6 can be found at http://www.minion.de/. Here are a couple of documents that walk you through the specific issues you may run into when upgrading RedHat 9 to the 2.6 kernel, http://www.fearthecow.net/kernel.html and http://thomer.com/linux/migrate-to-2.6.html Kevin Cozens wrote: > At 12:30 AM 12/26/2003 -0500, you wrote: > >> I decided to celebrate Christmas by compiling a version 2.6 kernel. :-) > > > There is more to getting a (b)leading edge kernel running than just > compiling it.

An earlier poster posed what was a good issue: that I ought to check my software for compatability with the kernel. OK, so I try to check, but the compatability list doesn't appear to be in its usual place.
