How to install a kernel?

I want to install and use another kernel (i.e. 2.6.38.1). Is there any easy way to do that or maybe an example?

Official supported kernels are: 'linux' and 'linux-lts' both of which are not the version in which you are interested. I doubt you'll find one that old even in the AUR. You can compile one yourself by ABS, but I recall some significant changes several months ago in glibc that may not work with an older PKGBUILD without much editing. Look to the wiki for ABS and kernel compilation. Arch Linux is not a newbie friendly distro; you will likely not get your hand held through this...

[SOLVED] How to install custom kernel from AUR?

I am trying to install the custom kernel for the Acer Aspire One from AUR. What is the correct way to go about doing this? I pacman -U the .pkg.tar.gz I downloaded and it put a new kernel folder in /usr/src. Do I just copy the old .config file and make?

After installing new kernel with pacman -U you just need to add a new line to grub menu.lst pointing to it and reboot
How would you go about doing this in syslinux instead of grub?

Kindly guide me to the rpms wherein i cud upgrade to the SMP Kernal, or is there any other way i cud do it??

Hi, apologies for the delayed response.
Yes i did reboot the machine after installing the SMP pacakge, yet i see the same as

How to install tools to build a standard kernel module?

Hello!
I am a long time Fedora user trying to switch over to Arch for the ease of customization.
I am trying to build the hybrid_wl driver for my broadcom wireless card, and the requirements section says I need to have "the proper tools, packages, header files and libraries to build a standard kernel module. This is usually done by installing the kernel developer of kernel source package and caries from distro to distro."
I have never messed around with the kernel in Arch (or Fedora, for that matter) so I really have no clue what a standard module even is. What do I need to install to get this driver working?
Any help is welcome!
Thanks,
Jim

I can't figure out how to install Bootcamp 5.

I recently bought a Windows 8 disc, with the hopes of installing it onto my MacBook Pro early 2011 version 10.8.5. I've read up on all of the instructions, and know how to install windows itself, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to install Bootcamp 5. The instructions on Apple's support website say I need to open up the Bootcamp 5 folder that I put onto a flashdrive (which I did) and open the setup.exe file while in windows.... "while in windows"... don't I have to have Bootcamp 5 installed before I can have windows installed and open? I tried installing Bootcamp 4 and installing my windows 8 64-bit onto there, but as I suspected, it won't actually install the windows 8 information, because bootcamp 4 doesn't support windows 8 64-bit. This is the first time I've tried doing anything like this before. I don't have windows 7, or bootcamp 4, or parallels, or anything like that. After giving it a lot of thought, I'm beginning to worry that Bootcamp 5 can only be installed if you already have windows 7 on bootcamp 4, and you're just trying to upgrade. I really hope that's not the case, because I've already spent over $200 on the windows 8 disk, and I can't return it. If somebody could please tell me how to install Bootcamp 5, if it's even possible without windows 7 already on bootcamp 4, I would really appreciate it...
Thanks!

So I never installed grub or syslinux. You may want to reread the beginner's guide and specifically the section on efistub: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide#EFISTUB
Roughly summarized, condensed, and paraphrased it goes like this (and leaving out stuff you don't need):
Look at the output of "lsblk." It will probably show a 200MB partition as /dev/sda1. This is probably your UEFISYS partition.
Mount the UEFISYS partition at /mnt/boot/efi, chroot and copy the kernel and initramfs files as described below.
Create /boot/efi/EFI/arch/ directory.
Copy /boot/vmlinuz-linux to /boot/efi/EFI/arch/vmlinuz-arch.efi. The .efi file extension is very important as some UEFI firmwares refuse to launch a file without this extension. Important: Remember that the file is called vmlinuz, but not vmlinux.
Copy /boot/initramfs-linux.img to /boot/efi/EFI/arch/initramfs-arch.img.
Copy /boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.img to /boot/efi/EFI/arch/initramfs-arch-fallback.img.
Every time the kernel and initramfs files are updated in /boot, they need to be updated in /boot/efi/EFI/arch. This can be automated either using systemd or using incron (for non-systemd setups).
You will find more nuggets here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UEFI for your future improvements.
Create a refind_linux.conf file with the kernel parameters to be used by rEFInd:
# nano /boot/efi/EFI/arch/refind_linux.conf
"Boot to X" "root=/dev/sdaX ro rootfstype=ext4 systemd.unit=graphical.target"
"Boot to console" "root=/dev/sdaX ro rootfstype=ext4 systemd.unit=multi-user.target"
Note that instead you may want to use a line similar to
"Boot to X" "root=PARTUUID=78b89af1-8445-4f8d-bfed-9f57b96ee0a7 ro rootfstype=ext4 systemd.unit=graphical.target"
Those two things pretty much did it for me: copy the kernel files into /boot/efi/EFI/arch (after you mount the UEFISYS partition there!!!) and make the refind.conf file.

How to install archlinux2008.6 from the hard drive?

How to install archlinux2008_6 by archlinux2008_6_i686.iso in hard drive?
i get the booting files(archlive.img,vmlinuz26) in the archlinux2008_6_i686.iso and put them in c:\
in the grub command mode the use of these code:
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz26
initrd (hd0,0)/archlive.img
boot
i get those from : http://blog.chinaunix.net/u/31909/showart_1121360.html
but it stopped , some code printing on the screen...................it can not continue..
from the google i find :"this method must use the "vmlinz "and the "initrd.img",this files is from archlinux2008.03.iso
i don't understand .......
i must download the archlinux2008.03.iso?...........it's too much trouble.
How to install archlinux2008.6 from the hard drive? or who could give me the two files (the "vmlinz "and the "initrd.img") from archlinux2008.03.iso?

A waste of CD-ROM...........,in china, many people install linux just by iso,don't burn the iso,
could you give me the two files (the "vmlinz "and the "initrd.img") in archlinux2008.03.iso, those can't find in archlinux2008.06.iso
my email :[email protected]
Do you have a USB stick you could copy the image to? Where I live, a CD costs $0.50 at most. To put that into perspective. A coffee costs a $1.00. Either a CD costs a lot more than a coffee where you live or are you telling me you'd rather get a lot of grey hair than buy half a coffee?
Sorry I can't be of much help. I don't know how to do this method of installation. If you're desperate, you could try making an extra partition, and trying something with that. Take a look at these:

How to install Oracle 9i on redhat 9

i have installed 4-5 times oracle 9i on linux ...but the thing is ..as soon i restart my pc..the SQLPLUS doest not start from the redhat 9 terminal
...So plz tell me the step by step procedure how to install Oracle 9i on linux ...
.... What & where is .bash_profile file is located ...???
How to create system shareable memory ...??? without this SQLPLUS is not starting ...
how to modify the kernel variables ..???
..

What & where is .bash_profile file is located ...???The file exists under oracle home directory.
# ls -l /home/oracle/.bash_profile
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 328 11? 2 15:35 /home/oracle/.bash_profile
How to create system shareable memory ? without this SQLPLUS is not starting.Append your shareable memory parameters to /etc/sysctl.conf, You might want to change these values if you have more RAM:
kernel.shmmax = 536870912
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.shmall = 2097152
REBOOT the system so the kernel changes can take effect, or if rebooting is not an option, you can change the kernel params at runtime by issuing:
# echo 536870912 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
# echo 4096 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmni
# echo 2097152 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmall
how to modify the kernel variables ..???method 1:
To modify kernel parameters a common way is to change /proc file system:
1. Log in as root user.
2. Change to the /proc/sys/kernel directory.
3. echo <desired list of values> > <group of parameters>
But this update is not permanent and after system reboot, your kernel parameters's
values will be the same as before.
method 2:
setuping permanently kernel parameter values ,is to use '/etc/sysctl.conf' file.
Every time the system boots, the '/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit' script is executed
by init process. This shell script contains a call to sysctl command and
reads the values from /etc/sysctl.conf file as the ones to be set Therefore, any values added to /etc/sysctl.conf will take effect after the system boot or without downtime using "sysctl -p" command

Hello,
i think you can work best if you connect your guest to the host network and working from the host directly (if you have no skill with linux). To do this "system-config-network" if avaible on the guest will help you to set ip address.
Otherwise use a text editor like vi or something like that. Most folks these days can not even spell vi when spotted one of the two letters.
All they know how to do is click on the GEDIT icon.What does this mean ?

How to install & configure Oracle9i

How to install & configure Oracle9i

Hi,
The Oracle installation mainly depends on which OS are u using.
1.If u are using as a windows platform.... it is easy ..just follow the GUI mode of installation from the 3 disks ..u can download the database from www.otn.oracle.com site.
2.If u are installing on the Unix platform ..then it is little bit tricky and also depends on the which flavour of unix u are using.
For unix installtion ..
1.u have to set the kernel parameters first and then reboot the system.
2.creating the groups dba and oracle .. granting the group privs
3.create the profile file for setting the environ variable...
4.Then follow the GUI mode of installtion for the rest..
about the patches ... u need to be specific about the type of unix flavour ur using and the version.
hope this helps.....
Thanks,
With Regards,
Praveen Shiva

How to install drivers for ati radeon 3200?and how to config xorg.co ?

how to install drivers for ati radeon 3200?and how to config xorg.conf?

mawch wrote:how to install drivers for ati radeon 3200?and how to config xorg.conf?
Hello
I am using ati hd 3200 which is integrated with my motherboard. If you are using arch you can download & install through pacman. The package is named like catalyst*. You can install them by issuing as root user
#pacman -Sy
#pacman -S -l | grep -i catalyst
#pacman -S catalyst catalyst-utils
After installation reboot your machine in runlevel 1. (single mode). Ensure "fglrx" module is loaded correctly using
#lsmod | grep -i fglrx
If the resultant output have "fglrx" part the module is loaded correctly. The next step is to create a working /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Backup your current xorg.conf if needed.
#cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bkup
Then issue
#aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
This will create a new xorg.conf file. Now we can test our confign.
#telinit 3
I am using runlevel 3 to avoid graphic messup!!
issue
#gdm
If you graphical login screen works correctly there is nothing to do more except adjust your monitor resoloution as you like.
To know your ati driver is working correctly issue as root
#fgl_glxgears
If gears are rolling happily it seems correct. You can also know more about installed ati driver
#fglrxinfo
Now the installed driver version is in the output
If there is any problem try following
##### Soloutions to solve various display problems using ATI Catalyst Drivers in Linux #####
yes video playback is choppy until i ran :-
sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv
Try adding the following to the 'Device' section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Option "TexturedVideo" "true"
### This is a half solution for mythtv problems. Run mythtv in window (no full screen) If You have a screen resolution of 1024x768 try the command;
mythfrontend --geometry 800x600
Append the "Device" Section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file as follows;
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "fglrx"
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
Option "TexturedVideo" "on"
Option "TexturedVideoSync" "on"
Option "Capabilities" "0x00000800"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Add following in the .bashrc of each user or /etc/bashrc file* Most Effective In My Case!!
export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=true
####### Arch Linux - Add the "nopat" option to the /boot/grub/menu.lst or /boot/grub/grub.conf
####### as in the following example
title Archlinux Ice Kernel
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26-ice root=/dev/sda2 ro resume=/dev/sda3 quiet splash nopat
initrd /boot/kernel26-ice.img

How to install DKMS within Win7(host) + Arch(guest)

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11657
The following is my environment:
Host: Win 7
Guest: Virtual Box + Arch (kernel 2.6.33)
Now, I want to adjust the resolution inside VBox, default is always 800x600 and cannot change it without any more actions.
So I refered to the manual in VBox, said need to install VBoxAddition.
But I don't know how to install DKMS, which is a project form DELL, and it seems to be prerequsite for VBoxAddition.
Thanks in advance.

sand_man wrote:Ummm.... This is the second of these posts I've seen lately so I'm a little confused.
You just need to install virtualbox-additions from the official repos. The package is merely the guest additions iso file which you need to mount in the guest and install from there.
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vir … _Additions
Anyway, thank you for the reply.
But I look up in the URL you posted, it's used in the case of Arch(host) + Arch(guest) or as my understanding, at least Arch(host).
quoted from the Arch-Vitualbox wiki : "The instructions immediately below are for an Archlinux guest on an Archlinux host."
and I also tried as the instruction, it cannot work indeed. so I think DKMS is a must for WinXXX(host) + Arch(guest).
As for other guest hosted in WinXXXX, like Debian(Ubuntu), Fedora distros, it has repo package at hands, so can be used directly.
When it comes to our Arch, it's treated as Unsupported package, so I am asking how to install DKMS under such circumstances.
quotes from Virtual Box manual:
The VirtualBox Guest Additions for Linux are provided on the same ISO CD-ROM as the Additions for Windows described above. They also come with an installation program guiding you through the setup process, although, due to the significant differences between Linux distributions, installation may be slightly more complex.
Installation generally involves the following steps:
1.
Before installing the Guest Additions, you will have to prepare your guest system for building external kernel modules. This works similarly as described in the section called "The VirtualBox kernel module", except that this step must now be performed in your Linux guest instead of on a Linux host system, as described there.
Again, as with Linux hosts, we recommend using DKMS for Linux guests as well. If it is not installed, use this command for Ubuntu/Debian systems:
sudo apt-get install dkms
or for Fedora systems:
yum install dkms
Make sure to nstall DKMS before installing the Linux Guest Additions.
2.
Mount the VBoxGuestAdditions.iso file as your Linux guest's virtual CD-ROM drive, exactly the same way as described for a Windows guest in the section called "Installation".
3.
Change to the directory where your CD-ROM drive is mounted and execute as root:
sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
In a 64-bit Linux guest, use VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run instead.
For your convenience, the following step-by-step instructions have been verified to work for freshly installed copies of the most popular Linux distributions. After these preparational steps, you can execute the VirtualBox Guest Additions installer as described above.

Is it possible to install 2 kernels ?

I have following questions about my newly installed arch system.
1. Is it possible to have 2 kernels ? So that i can test the new one and then get rid of the older if I find the new one stable.
If yes, please point me to the documentation.
2. If it is not possible, how can I avoid possible system breakdowns due to the untested (untested only for my system) kernel ?
thanks & regards,
Hardik

1: Yes, if each kernel has a differnt name. You can either install another kernel like the -lts one, or you can build your own custom one with a different name. To do that, search on the wiki for "Custom kernel", the wiki is a very good resource.
2: Also, if you don't want to go that far in case of something going wrong you can reinstall the older kernel from your cache if you haven't cleared it. To do that you would boot the live cd, chroot into your installation, then issue a pacman -U on the old kernel package. A tutorial on how to chroot into your installation can be found on the wiki page for dealing with kernel panics: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_Panics

How to Install OEL5.3 Source DVD from eDelivery

I'm totally new to installing OEL (not using an OBI)
I need to have source code available to install the CISCO VPN (at least that's how I'm interpreting the instructions).
I have downloaded the iso for the source and burned it to a DVD.
When I look at the DVD I see SRPMS folder, EULA, GPL, RP-GPG-KEY and TRANS.TBL
Nothing gives me a clue how to install the souce...
Is it as simple as just copying the rpms to usr\src?
thanks

You just need the "kernel-devel" RPM package from the binary distribution; ignore the source media and ".src.rpm" packages.
# /bin/rpm -Uvh kernel-devel*.rpmYou will need to find the "kernel-devel" RPM on the installation media; use that.
