Is there a howto or other guide to mixing a vanilla kernel.org kernel w/ Fedora? More importantly, if so, where?
Per my previous message, I'm looking for specific driver support. It happens to be baked into 2.6.13. If I could mix 2.6.13 w/ my FC3 installation, I would be all set.
I always use a vanilla kernel with my FC3 system. Currently running 2.6.13 with no problems.
The trick is getting the kernel config file properly constructed.
[1] download the kernel source tarfile and latest patch [2] untar it in a private directory you don't need to make any links or anything [3] run "make menuconfig" or the config program you like. [4] run "make" [5] as root - run "make modules_install" [6] as root - run "make install" [7] check /boot/grub/grub.conf (it should contain an entry for the new kernel) [8] boot the new kernel [9] when it doesn't work, boot the Fedora kernel [A] goto [3]
Good luck!
