I am running an Hp Pavillion dv6000 with the Broadcom card that never seems to work for Linux. I recently talked with my friend who said he found a way to get it work.following his instructions I opened Synaptic and checked the package bmcwl-kernel-source to be installed.I went through the process of it all and it said it had install successfully. I restarted the computer and when I tried to enter my operating system I got this error "Kernel panic - not syncing : VFS : Unable to mount root fs on unknown - block(8,1)"
I have previous versions of Linux on my computer so I can still get in to those if need be but I don't know how to undo what I did or why it isn't working for that matter. Does anyone have any ideas as to why I am getting this error and how I can fix it?

Using the rpmbuild to compile the kernel, every time the patches will be applied to the source code. So even if no changes are made to the source code and no patches are added to kernel.spec, the whole kernel will still be recompiled, wasting a lot of time

Which is the best way to install kernel from source?
I want to download it here:
http://kernel.org/
But it is tar.bz2
How can I install it to my debian?
I know I have kernels in backports and repos, but I want to test and install it from source.
It is good idea to convert it to deb and install it with dpkg -i kernel.deb?
O maybe there are better way?

I am a newbie to CentOS. I use CentOS5 for NetFPGA project.
I installed everyone except building driver for NetFPGA hardware. When I enter the "make" command, it gives an error like:
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.18-238.12.1.el5.centos.plusxen/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
In the manual, it says that:
-If you get an error message such as "make: * /lib/modules/2.6.9-42.ELsmp/build: No such file or directory. Stop.", then kernel sources are need to build the driver.
But I don't know which package I have to install. My kernel version is 2.6.18-238.12.1.el5.centos.plus-i686.

I had somewhat of a simple questioned I tried out the latest revision to the Kernel of Day for Opensuse 11.2 built against the master. kernel-default-2.6.36-rc3.10.1.i586.rpm however looking at the tree it appears Novell/Suse doesn't release the source.rpm thinking I could recompile it to support the dependencies that I'm missing. See the message below-
Kernel image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.36-rc3-10-default
Initrd image: /boot/initrd-2.6.36-rc3-10-default
Root device: /dev/disk/by-id/ata-MAXTOR_6L020J1_6612-part1 (/dev/sda1) (mounted on / as ext4)Resume device: /dev/disk/by-id/ata-MAXTOR_6L020J1_661-part2 (/dev/sda2)
modprobe: Module via82cxxx not found.

New to SuSE, but not Linux. Trying to install the source for 2.6.37.1-1.2, but YAST only has a different kernel version. Try downloading Kernel 2.6.37.1-1.2.2 rpm, but am getting into dependency hell.

In order to configure a dual display in a fresh 11.4 installation, I am attempting to install the nVidia driver according to the instructions in SDB:NVIDIA the hard way - openSUSE. I have not previously compiled or configured a kernel so I largely followed the instructions from OpenSUSE 11.2 - How to compile a Kernel for Newbies.The currently installed kernel is 2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop. The graphics card is an ASUS EN9600GSO (512MB).
In Yast, I installed gcc, make, kernel-devel (v. 2.6.37.1-1.2) and kernel-desktop-devel (v. 2.6.37.1-1.2). Per the "hard way" instructions, I did not install kernel-source.

I have RHEL 5.3.
I am trying to build a e1000 network card driver rpm with particular requirement to have cpio.gz inside rpm.
But after i build my rpm driver it has cpio.lzma inside. I simply build using command from the readme: rpmbuild -tb *.tar.gz.
I have googled and found that from around 5.0 RHEL includes lzma and uses it as a default setting. Is there any way to force to use cpio.gz or somehow repackage my rpm correctly?
I have searched through makefile and other files but was not able to find a clue.

So after getting around the Fakeraid bug, and the grub bug, and all the other bugs killing my system fixed and then i moved on to install my video driver. There was nothing in Administration>Hardware Drivers, so i downloaded the latest driver for my two 8600m gt cards. Did the whole ctrl+alt+f2 and then stopping xserver and then running the driver install only to run into yet another damn bug(see log below)
I have tried fixing it by doing what other threads have said to do e.g:[URL] still nothing. Below is the Nvidia log.

But then the upcoming dialog-box of module-assistant telling me, that the kernel-headers are not installed and therefore installation of tp_smapi fails.
