Dale, |
| 52 |
There isn't a reason in the world why I'd get mad at you! :-)))) |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
I guess I'm not sure I know what you mean by 'when I tried to copy |
| 55 |
it the old way'. I think my kernel management is far less |
| 56 |
sophisticated than what I'm reading the real Linux guys here do. I'm |
| 57 |
embarrased to say that the only thing in my /boot directory is a bunch |
| 58 |
of bzImage files and a grub subdirectory. I have nothing else. |
| 59 |
Basically I build the kernel using make && make modules_install and |
| 60 |
then copy the kernel by hand using |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-2.6.27-gentoo-r8 |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
or whatever the kernel is. I add that to grub.conf and I'm done. works for me. |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
Possibly you've done more or less the same thing but using i386 |
| 67 |
instead of x86_64 or x86? I think the i386/boot/bzImage file has |
| 68 |
actually been a link to the x86 directory for awhile now. I looked in |
| 69 |
an older 2.6.23 kernel on this machine and found an i386 directory but |
| 70 |
didn't in the 2.6.24 kernel so I guess that's when things changed. |
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
Hope this helps, |
| 73 |
