Then fix pcmcia-cs and alsa-driver before you suggest anything. as it |
| 20 |
is, my machine won't boot properly without pcmcia-cs -and- alsa, as they |
| 21 |
IRQ conflict unless loaded in a certain order. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
They are both dependant on the target module, and theres no way in a |
| 24 |
gnomes purple hell you are going to get me into a state where I can |
| 25 |
reboot first, and then rebuild the modules, only to reboot again so I |
| 26 |
have a working boot session. uh-oh- NO. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
And no, you won't get me to emerge it with SLOT="purple-gnomes-2.4.44" |
| 29 |
either, Just because I sat down and got my own kerneltree installed into |
| 30 |
usr/src/testkernelwithextraJFSpatches , and then loose my existing , |
| 31 |
working, tried kernelset. |
| 32 |

| 35 |
When you get this set to -automagically- detect the target kernel., |
| 36 |
build modules and fix. then ok. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
if you want it to depend on the running kernel, erm... No. theres a few |
| 39 |
things already that do so, and that is -BROKEN- behaviour. I don't even |
| 40 |
-HAVE- the sources for my running kernel at most times. What? No I |
| 41 |
don't need them. I shouldn't need to have my sources for the hard |
| 42 |
compiled and working copy of 2.4.18-saviour with extra everything that I |
| 43 |
know boots all my machines and I have in a .tar stored away for working |
| 44 |
order. |

Yes, this thread invoked a lot of hot emotions from my side. |
