Ok, here's where it gets weird, at least to me: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
The symlink points to the new sources. When I cd |
| 12 |
/usr/src/linux that's where I end up. I run make |
| 13 |
menuconfig, then make && make modules_install. Then I |
| 14 |
copy bzImage to /boot/vmlinuz as always; take a quick |
| 15 |
look around; check that the new /lib/modules dir(there |
| 16 |
are now two, natch) is full of modular goodness, and |
| 17 |
reboot. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
At the grub prompt I run >root, >kernel /vmlinuz #the |
| 20 |
*new* kernel and >boot as I always do. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
CERTAIN modules load. CERTAIN modules don't, |
| 23 |
predominantly having to do with communications |
| 24 |
hardware. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
The thing makes it to the prompt. I log in. Run uname. |
| 27 |
Yikes! It *is* _running_ the old kernel. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
BUT, it's _booting_ from the new! I checked! |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Puh-leeeeeeeze! Chew me out! Deny my competency! Flame |
| 32 |
me like you've never flamed the rankest wannabe!But |
| 33 |
tell me how to fix this thing! |
