speakup (cvs) and Kernel 2.4.20

speakup (cvs) and Kernel 2.4.20

[Dietmar Segbert]

Hello,
i want to use the kernel 2.4.20 with my slackware 8.0 (gcc 2.9.5.3 and  
so).

I have donwloaded the source for that kernel and unpack it. After that i  
run the script "checkout".. It connect to the server an installs speakup  
into the kernelsourcen.
 Then i have done the following:

make mrproper
(cp /us/src/2.2.20/.config /usr/src/linux/.config
make oldconfig
make dep
make bzImage

After that i have a new kernel with 950 KB and it is configured as my  
kernel 2.2.20.
I copy the kernel onto my DOS-hd and reboot the system.
If i try to start the new kernel via loadlin, the system crashes and  
reboots. My synthezier (APOLLO II) does not say anything.

Any idea, what i can do?
Can i use the cvs speakup with kernel 2.4.20 or only with 2.4.19?

Thanks.
Dietmar

You can use 2.4.20 with speakup from cvs with no problems.

Did you do the other make steps: modules, etc., if necessary?

Where does the kernel crash: immediately, or are there some meaningful
booting messages displaied (maybe not spoken)?

In my 2.2.20 are all the modules without the sound-modules included, so i  
think the 2.4.20 will have all he needs.

I have looke in the /var/log/messages file. In the first line stand syslog  
V ... restart.

Hi.  You can't transfer your 2.2 .config file to the 2.4 tree.  You have
to configure it manually.  Try make config or make menu config.

Actually you can somewhat transfer it. Just put your old config file in
the toplevel directory of your kernel tree, and re-name it to .config
after doing make mrproper. Then do make oldconfig. You will have to change
a lot of options, but at least what the config program will ask you about
is whatever is included in the 2.4.x kernel, which was not present in the
2.2.x kernels.

May you code in the power of the source,
may the kernel, libraries, and utilities be with you,
throughout all distributions until the end of the epoch.

Hi Igor.  As I remember, what you suggest didn't work, because of the
reorganization of config options in the 2.4 tree.  Normally what you
suggest would work, but not this time.

Hy Gene. Its strange that you say that. I got that option to work
successfully when upgrading from 2.2 to 2.4.18. I did not try 2.4.20
however.

May you code in the power of the source,
may the kernel, libraries, and utilities be with you,
throughout all distributions until the end of the epoch.
