It doesn't work. I did the following |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
cd /usr/portage/sys-kernel/linux-sources |
| 72 |
ebuild linux-2.4.4.9.ebuild unpack |
| 73 |
cp /usr/portage/sys-kernel/linux-sources/files/2.4.4-ac9/config.bootcomp |
| 74 |
/usr/src/linux/.config |
| 75 |
cd /tmp/portage/linux-2.4.4.9/work/linux |
| 76 |
tried make xconfig (error option not found) |
| 77 |
make menuconfig (added esssolo1 and corrected stuff for ide-scsi) |
| 78 |
cd /usr/portage/sys-kernel/linux-sources |
| 79 |
ebuild linux-2.4.4.9.ebuild merge |
| 80 |
|
| 81 |
When I booted from the new kernel, eth0 would not start. I discovered that |
| 82 |
the procedure had added empty /etc/modules/2.4.4-ac5 for 2.4.4-ac5 but no |
| 83 |
/lib/modules/2.4.4-ac5. Only /etmodules/2.4.4-ac3 and |
| 84 |
/lib/modules/2.4.4-ac3 contain data. Since the kernel calls itself -ac5, |
| 85 |
modprobe, etc. will not use any of the modules. |
