Hi, I'm trying to compile 2.6.32-pre8 and have some questions that I hoped someone could help me to answer. They aren't really specific to the kernel version, other than I'm using 2.6. - Is it possible to compile a kernel with glibc-2.10.1 and run it on a system with a much older glibc version? Specifically, I'd like to upgrade a v2.4 kernel system to v2.6 with only the minimal amount of changes in order for it to run. - Is it necessary to compile the IDE driver and ext2/3 filesystem driver into the kernel, or can that also be a module? If so, and I put it in initrd,. how is it accessed? Isn't it a catch-22 without having support to access the very ramdisk that has the support that's necessary to access it? If this can be done, where can I find info on the steps? - Is there a general list of minimum requirements for compiling a recent 2.6 kernel? IOW, module-init-tools, gcc, etc. - Does anyone use lilo anymore, or do all distros use grub? Thanks so much.
