Kernel 2.6 on Alpha XL 366 (xlt)
|
|
Hi everyone,
I haven't been following the list as much lately (finishing my
bachelor's degree soon), but I was able to compile the 2.6.12-rc2 kernel
(vanilla-sources). It runs fine (as far as I can tell). And the best
thing is that I compiled it with the "Alcor/XLT" system type (not
generic like I had to do with 2.4.28! There's a new option just under
System Type to tell the kernel that I have an ev56 CPU, maybe that's
what made the difference...
One thing that's weird is that emerge put the kernel in
/usr/src/linux-2.6.11-rc2 (not 2.6.12-rc2 as it should have). I'm sure
it's 2.6.12-rc2 because of a) uname -a says so, b) the dir it created in
/lin/modules is 2.6.12-rc2, c) at the logon screen it also says
2.6.12-rc2. So is there any danger in moving it to
/usr/src/linux-2.6.12-rc2? Will emerge find it again if I ever want to
unmerge it? (I'm, guessing no, but is that so bad?)
Thanks in advance,
J-S
