Updated kernel packages (4.0.6)

Post by gapan »

I recently needed to install Salix on a system with really new hardware that the default kernel in 14.1 doesn't support. So I created packages for kernel 4.0.6 and I thought I'd share.

You can find the packages here:
http://people.salixos.org/gapan/kernel-4.0.6/

32bit packages are marked as i686 (sorry no i486) and 64bit as x86_64, as usual. The kernel-firmware package works on both. You'll need to install all 3 (kernel-huge, kernel-modules, kernel-firmware) and replace your existing kernel packages.

Don't forget to update lilo once you do:

Code: Select all

sudo lilo -v
or on EFI systems, copy the vmlinuz-huge-4.0.6 file to the EFI directory:

Code: Select all

sudo cp /boot/vmlinuz-huge-4.0.6 /boot/efi/EFI/Salix/vmlinuz

Thanks gapan! Is it possible to get (from somewhere) the kernel headers/source for this version? :P

Just get the corresponding tarball from kernel.org:
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel ... 0.6.tar.xz

Untar it somewhere, anywhere and:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/src
ln -s /path/to/linux-4.0.6 linux

Oops, accidentally wrote "/usr/usr" in the previous post instead of "/usr/src". Fixed it now.
