Hi Brian You wrote(this time i got it right :-): >Simply reinstalling your old kernel, configuring as needed, compiling it all, and 'make install >modules_install' are all necessary to enable mkbootdisk to create your boot disk. Can i run "make install modules_install" when i'm just using the kernel-2.4.20-31.9.rpm, and not having the source rpm aswell ? I did find some hints about that, when searching for this, bu they where all refering to a source-code compiled script. I did try to install the new kernel with rpm -iv kernel-2.4.20-31.9 and the installation work. But when i tried the depmod -a 2.4.20-31.9, it came with a lot of unresolved symbols. So now i have patched everything but the kernel. I havn't downloaded the documentation cd. Is all the How to's on that ? Is there a How to on upgrading the kernel using the rpm's without compiling it. In the old times up2date was able to do it, so it must be simple.
