I haven't had to follow a guide in ages. I been building my own kernels |
26 |
for almost 20 years now. My problem is that the two updated kernels |
27 |
doesn't work. If it was just one version, it could just be a bad build |
28 |
or something. Thing is, I tried updating from a working config to two |
29 |
different versions and both failed. I suspect that something major |
30 |
changed and going from a old config file may not work. Thing is, I |
31 |
don't know if that is the case or not. It could be, hence the question, |
32 |
but it could be something else or just that I missed something and |
33 |
someone else knows what that something is because they ran into it |
34 |
earlier. |
35 |
|
36 |
I wish when they did major changes, they would also change the number |
37 |
scheme to reflect that. As I read in another post, sometimes even a |
38 |
number change in the third place can give a very different kernel, |
39 |
something major removed or added. Unless one reads all the posts on the |
40 |
kernel mailing list, one wouldn't know that change happened. |
41 |
|
42 |
I did build a new kernel from the old config and running make |
43 |
oldconfig. When I get around to rebooting, I'll see if it works or |
44 |
not. If not, I'll note the error and see if that gives any clues. |
