Kernel 2.6.26 Resume Bug

刚升级到 2.6.26 就遇到了一个 Intel 显卡下的,系统休眠不可用的BUG,找了很久,开始还以为是编译内核的时候参数搞错,但是编译了3次之后问题依然…… 就要想回退到 2.6.25 的时候,想到可能是一个BUG,结果真的找到了。应用这个补丁即可。

upgrade to kernel 2.6.26

Linux 2.6.26 内核

Linux 2.6.26 内核

升级到了最新的内核版本,据说内核版本号规则要换了……

让内核自动加载所需模块

需要在配置编译时,选择

 --- Enable loadable module support
   [*]     Module unloading
   [*]         Forced module unloading
   [*]     Module versioning support
   [_]     Source checksum for all modules
   [*]     Automatic kernel module loading

Automatic kernel module loading 是应该选择的项目 ;)

Slackware 12 initrd needed

how to build a initrd when you need, like this:

1
 sudo mkinitrd -c -k 2.6.21.5-smp -m jbd:ext3 -r /dev/hda14 -o /boot/initrd-2.6.21.5-smp.gz
