Hi, I was recompiling a stock kernel because I was wanting to get the latest version of speakup and alsa to see if my sound card was supported. I was wondering once I am on the rescue disk what should I do to restore the kernel 2.6.10700 in grub.conf what editors are there? I have named my new kernel vmlinuz could I just make a link between those two files and remove the bad kernel? Also, When I am sure everything is the way I want it if I do rpm -e kernel version I get failed dependaces and kernel2.4 is needed for this package or another other. bye On Mon, 16 May 2005, Janina Sajka wrote: > Luke Yelavich writes: >> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >> Hash: SHA1 > As a rule of thumb, I have found it smarter to create a new stanza for > any new kernel, rather than mauling the existing entry.
