LeRoy,
If I use the old .config file from my previous kernel version how will it
handle new options that were not in the old one?
It sounds like a good idea though and I will give it a try.
Yeah, I do the make modules / make modules_install to get all those module
installed.. I still would like away to tell if I am using the same module
versions for both 2.2.19 and 2.4.7.. I am guessing just copying the 3c509.o
to the 2.4.7 module tree would result make bad things happen :) (I am also
trying to get sound working in 2.4.7.. its tasking but I am still trying)
Can you tell me what the "build" link is used for in the module tree? Is
that important? (i am noticing that 2.2.19 points to /usr/src/linux which
may not always be a link to the 2.2.19 source tree)
John

Modual versions
When compiling the kernel and you run make modules and finally run make
modules_install the modules will end up in /lib/modules/2.?.?
Also when compiling a kernel make sure that you use the same .config
that you used for the old kernel. I like to save .configs up one level
from the kernel source like hostname-version.config. This way when I
make any changes to a kernel I have a previous copy if something goes
wrong.
Finally, there is some flakeness with the 2.4 series. 2.4.3 worked fine
on one older box, but all of the later versions would not even boot
unless you added append="nomce" even though the box has an ancient P75
chip. Alan Cox told me that there are problems when he added
bluesmoke.c to the kernel with older pentiums.
BTW this list was origonally created for linux discussion, questions and
information just like you are asking.
