Kernel 265 problems btw..

(1/3) > >>

DukePuke:
I first time compiled kenel, but image in boot, edit lilo.conf file, to direct it to that new image, typed "lilo" in konsole, to overwrite MBR, but btw that was not fun instead.

FIrst of all i launched 2.6.5, it was incredible slow.  It spited some kind of libraries. Then X launched, it prompted about problems with my soundcard. ADSL doesnt worked. Mice speed was twice as normal. KDE was veeeery slow. I think i just forget to configure something, but i dont have clue what. Please help  ;)

Refalm:
I think you forgot to configure your new kernel for YOUR PC  

If you compile it with the default kernel configuration file, it won't load the drivers for your motherboard, video-card or sound-card from the kernel.

A "problem" (not really, OSS drivers suck) with the 2.6 kernel could be that it uses ALSA for the sound.

So, you'd better configure it  ;)

Open Konsole and try:

su
* enter root password *
cd /usr/src
make xconfig

You'll now see a configuration utility from which you can configure the Linux kernel. Save when you're done by clicking on the floppy icon, and do:

make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
make install

Making modules and install may take a while, so you'd better have a Game Boy or something at hand  

DukePuke:
hehe looks like i forgot stuff with modules.. Btw even make bzImage takes fuckin long (10 mins), i fear to do make modules, you say i need gameboy?

thanks, i will reply after compiling this shit ;]

DukePuke:
btw my linux source is located in /home/user_directory/linux btw should i had to putit in /usr/src/ ??

DukePuke:
btw i followed your steps, and the same shit happens. no intenet, problems, 640x480 rezolution, and so on. i think i need to do such kind of kernell configuration before compiling, but actualy i dont know what to do in there, so many unknown words btw i think everything should be ok by default so i changed nothing.  (heard that ppl uncheck some shit and make kernell smaller, until 1MB)

btw looks like my gkrellm will not monitor CPU temp/FAN speeds, and i will stick with 2.4.20 again ;(
