It will only fetch sources from the current repo which will only have
the latest. You can get the prior srpms out of koji.
Oh, there's only nearly another kernel. I've got the source, not the
binaries.
BTW, our hardware is pretty different I think, both my internal disks
are pata133 40Gb WD drives, and the same issues happen on my Macbook
running VMware Fusion x86_64 Rawhide guests. Both those systems needed
to run the early 2.6.24 kernels I had mentioned before in order to
install the 2.6.25 kernels.
That goes to explain why your results aren't exactly the same as mine.
And interestingly enough, kernel 2.6.25-0.105.rc5.fc9 boots after having
installed from 2.6.25-0.95.rc5.fc9 on my macbook guests (this is the
first 2.6.25 kernel that worked when installed from 2.6.25).
I found a mirror with a collection of .24 kernels source.
I was hoping to have a better plan of attack, but basically it's
rpm -i them both
rpmbuild -bp them both
Note this trick:
rpmbuild -bp --nodeps --define %_topdir\ /home/summer/<someplace>
Shuffle source
make mrproper
copy a config from /boot
make help
make <what seems least bother>
make xconfig # to review selections
make && make modules && sudo make install && sudo make modules_install
reboot
Of course, this might not work, the changes Will mentioned suggest so.
