I installed slack10.2 on my p4ht toshiba P30 - I wanted to recompile for
smp p4 rather than the stock 486.
I broke it. my smp system.map replaced the original, but the smp
doesn't (now) load ntfs (kernel_cache_line unresolved symbol) or my
acore alsa stuff, or agpgart.

as far as I remember, I did
make mrproper, make menuconfig (with stock .config), took some stuff
out, make dep, make modules make modules_install, make, make install, cp
vmlinux /boot/smp.

agpgart compiled as module
ntfs as module
and I couldn't figure out what I have to do to the kernel for alsa -
just compile as is and install the alsa package? The kernel doesn't
have my ati ac97 sound driver ati ixp150- what's the generic ac97?
This worked with my basic install, but I don't know which module did it..

http://www.dirac.org/linux/system.map/ has some nice information about
system.map but in the end, it doesn't tell me how I tell linux to make
modules_install to separate driver locations matching separate kernels
(w or w/o smp, 2.4 or 2.6.. etc)

Thanks..

I posted here an upgrade guide just some days ago that tells you
how to do this.

Thanks, I read through that. The answer I think I was looking for was in
'extraversion'.

I'll read this http://www.digitalhermit.com/linux/K...ild-HOWTO.html
and not ask as many questions

It's a good guide, there's also kernelnewbies (link from kernel.org)

Frequency of questions not a problem -- your questions need to be
less vague, I skip many vague questions as being pointless, the
questing one having displayed such a vague understanding of what
is wrong, they're unlikely to recognise a useful answer.

Keep in mind there are many correct and not-so-correct answers,
choosing the useful answers from various responses may be tricky
