Does slackware 13 have any dependencies on a modular kernel? I am going to make the kernel without modules and wanted to know if this will not work or if it will be painful and still work.
View 8 RepliesI have a question about the Fedora 12 default kernel: Is it monolitic or is it a modular kernel? And how do I know witch none is it?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying to write modular program but when I try to compile I come to know I don't have any files in /usr/src/linux. I have installed fedora 12 which has 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.PAE. I am including in my code:
linux/kernel.h
linux/module.h
Those are not present directory in /usr/src/linux is not present. My goal is to compile modular programs.
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.

I am a Linux noob (running Ubuntu 9.10) and not even an advanced Win. user. However, my switch to Linux was for simplicity, stability, fewer crashes,and the open-source software philosophy. However, Ubuntu hasn't been what I am hoping for. While Scientific Linux and Vector seem like good second choices, they don't seem to have the community/enthusiasm that Slackware has. However everything I read is all about "dependency management" w/r/t Slackware. Is this really a big problem? As a newbie, how will I deal with it? I am willing to learn but realize that I am starting from scratch.

I like the KDE environment but there are so many menu items that I am not interested in or do not use. For example, I use LibreOffice, not Koffice; I use only Firefox & Chrome; I dont use a PIM.There seems to be a lot of duplication to satisfy different preferences.Further, there are a bunch of environments (flukebox etc) that I am not interested in. I thought that if I removed all the stuff that is of no interest to me, that I could have a personalized, uncluttered Slackware 13.37 system that would occupy less disk space and take less time to back up.
I know that you can remove menu items without removing the underlying programs but, if I can get rid of the programs without trashing my system, that is what I would like to do. (I am assuming that I can reinstall some or all later.)
If I were a Slackware guru, I would probably install some sort of Slackware Minimal but then I would probably drive you all crazy with endless posts to this forum.So, the question is: If I use pkgtool to remove the stuff that I do not want, will I end up in Dependency issue Hell
I'm excited to try the new 2.0.1 version of Guile. I'm running Slackware64 13.37 and the latest version of Guile distributed with it is 1.8.8. I see that this new version, as part of it's new capabilities, has a few new requirements. I have built and installed libffi, libunistring and libgc according to their install instructions, but Guile's configure script can't find them.
I have tried manually creating libffi.pc libunistring.pc and libgc.pc files, which has allowed configure to get past the first two, but I still can't determine the correct name for libgc. Further, I am now not confident that Guile will find these where it expects to find them in the end. I would like to ask for some clarification of the install process for this new version of Guile, but I'm not sure whom to ask.
I'm trying the DVD authoring stuff on Slackware, so okay I have downloaded Tovid along with its dozens of dependencies that has their own dependencies and so on...Now, one of the dependency is x264 (for encoding H264/AVC video streams). I already have alien bob's VLC from the uk site (restricted packages) and I've read on his blog (if I'm not mistaken) that it has the H264 capability (don't know how to describe it ).Is there any chance that it will conflict with this x264 library?

I have been able to load CentOS on my computer. I have the motherboard DG41TY from Intel. It seems that the only problem I have is my network card does not work. On the Intel site there is a link to download the network driver for Linux. I did that. It's an rpm file. realtek-r8169-kmp-default-8.004.00_2.6.16.60_0.21-0.i586.rpm is the name. When i right click and say install it tried to connect to the internet for some thing and fails. of coarse it does there not loaded yet. I added a second nic that cent did recognize and got me online. I want to load the on board driver and remove the add on card. When I try to load now I get missing dependencys.

I installed a fresh copy of Slackware 13.1 (stable) on one of my media servers and I am experiencing something strange.... When I power up the machine, I see the kernel booting, no errors, until it gets to the point where it says:
And then randomly freeze there.... Well the machine is not totally frozen because the cursor still blinks. But it will never continue... Like I said, this happens on a random basis... After a reset, it might go through or simply stall at the same spot.
I remember after installing Slack 13.1, I rebooted the machine but forgot to remove the DVD from the player, so the install routine started up, and froze at the same point when it was loading the kernel for the setup programs...
My mobo is a MSI k9N platinum.
I never had this problem before.... (well I never used 13.1 before). Since I got this machine, I used slack 12.2 and slack 13-current with success.
This problem makes the machine extremely unreliable because I intent to use it as a backup and media server, so chances I will WOL the machine and use it remotely... if that happens.
I have one machine where I have several versions installed on different partitions. The base partition (/dev/hda1) is Slack 12.1. On a spare partition (/dev/hdc4) I had installed Slackware64-current. Last week I slackpkg upgraded and installed the 2.6.32.2 kernel, and now that partition will not boot. I know that with the new kernels the hd* designation has been removed, and have already redone that fstab (accessing it from a different boot) to reflect the sd*. Here is the slack64 section of my lilo.conf:
Code:
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /other/spare4/boot/vmlinuz

it's possible to compile the 2.6.37 kernel patched with the autogroup patch on a Slackware 13.1 system running 2.6.33.4-smp with 2.6.33.4 headers? I just compiled and installed the 2.6.37-autogroup kernel from AUR on my ARCH setup and I like it especially when using firefox with lots of tabs open and other background apps also running. I did notice a speed and smothness difference in my ARCH testing setup with this kernel patch and I can get same results in 13.1??

Fresh and Full install: Slackware 13.37 64-bit x86_64. What is the correct procedure to switch from huge kernel to 2.6.38.4 kernel?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI would like to recompile my kernel to add few modules to it but I would like to keep my current configuration so as not to have troubles with missing drivers for my hardware and stuff.
How do I do that?
I am trying to setup Slacware 13.1 x86_64 to a encrypted partition. I used the README_CRYPT.TXT howto : [URL] At the step when I create an initrd.gz I get this error: Quote: ERROR: No /lib/modules/2.6.33.4-smp kernel modules tree found for kernel "2.6.33.4-smp"
I tried to look into the directory and there was only modules under 2.6.44.3. So I tried to change the command into: Quote: mkinitrd -c -k 2.6.33.4 -m ext3 -f ext3 -r cryptroot -C /dev/sda2
This command was successful, but I don't know if this is alright. I made the changes in lilo.conf, add initrd = initrd.gz. This is all on unencrypted /boot partition. The boot=/dev/sda1 I also set for the unencrypted boot partition. When I boot the system I get a kernel panic:

I am trying to install Slackware(x32) 13.1.

Dan Rosenberg has issued another Linux Kernel Exploit with PoC described in LWN [URL] I have tested that this exploit is not working on -Current (custom kernel, 2.6.36.1), which is good sign that Slackware is already immune of those problems.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI've just upgraded my slackware 13.1 box to the latest stable kernel. Really impressed by the improvement on boot time and graphic card driver for my old Intel chipset. So I intend to use this newly built kernel to another computer of mine, which is running slackware 13.1 too. I want to keep this computer as clean as possible by installing no build tools, experimenting stuff, etc..., just binary packages for a neat, minimal box. So I'm thinking of copy the new kernel files (System.map, vmlinuz, config) to /boot as directed here in the slackbook.
But as I also notice that there are new files installed under /lib/modules/linux-2.6.35.7 (the new kernel), I'm afraid that I'm missing some other files of the kernel installed somewhere in the system. So are these files all the components of the new kernel, or do I need to look at some other places to grab the whole cake?
I installed Slackware 13.37 today, fresh install. I added the generic 2.6.37.6 kernel to lilo, rebooted, and ran with it. I transferred some stuff to my hard drive and installed a few things, reboot again and now I can't boot up with my kernel of choice (but I can with the huge kernel). It stops during the boot process and says
Code:
[1.785238] No filesystem could mount root, tried: romfs
[1.785342] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1)
[1.785417] Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.37.6 #2
After that is a line that says Call Trace and several lines after that with stuff that makes no sense to me and that I don't feel like typing out, but will if it is relevant.
Just a quick question: can I safely install the 2.6.38.4 kernel in /testing and not screw up any other part of my Slackware64 13.37 installation? Should I install the kernel headers or leave the default ones since that's what glibc was compiled against? Obviously I'd need to update lilo.conf as well as run lilo itself.The reason I ask is because I'm having suspend/resume problems on my laptop (worked fine with 13.1) and I wanted to see if a kernel driver was the issue.
