Known good 2.4.4 config -- stock

Post #68,784 by kmself 12/13/02 7:14:31 PM Reply	Known good 2.4.4 config -- stock Snott's been discussing this on Jabber a bit. The 2.4.4 configs are likely the stock configs from SuSE, which are snuck in /boot. Debian does similarly, this makes building a new kernel significantly easier, as you just have to check deltas between configs, rather than start from scratch. \r\n\r\n --\r\n Karsten M.

The implication is that nobody's quite sure where the .config files came from. Odd. Personally, I'd make my own. Reminds me: Debian does similarly, this makes building a new kernel significantly easier, as you just have to check deltas between configs, rather than start from scratch. Folks around here may or may not all be aware of "make oldconfig" in the kernel Makefile, so I thought I'd mention it. If you already have a kernel .config file you have confidence in, you can copy it into an unpacked kernel for any later kernel version, and type "make oldconfig": You'll then be asked only new questions added since the kernel version on which you created the .config file. All your existing selections will be carried forward. I mention this from time to time because it's a big time-saver. Rick Moen rick@linuxmafia.com If you lived here, you'd be $HOME already.

And the reason for using the SuSE-provided config is that it is Known To Work on that machine. My first attempts used my own configs; I wanted to remove the possibility that I had screwed them up.
