Problem installing vanilla kernel on Fedora 13
Hi, I am trying to install an extra vanilla kernel on Fedora 13. The Fedora 13 runs on vmware virtual machine. I installed it using and iso of live cd. A 'uname -r' gives the version as 2.6.33-85.fc13.i686. The kernel version I am trying to install is 2.6.38.8 I am following these steps : - Download kernel source and unzip it - make menuconfig (Saved the config) - make - make modules_install - make install However as soon as i do a 'make install ' an error message appears saying : "ERROR:modinfo:could not find module i2c_core" I could find the options for i2c in the config menu and enabled some of them but didn't help. Could anyone please tell me how to debug this error ? I have tried the same thing on Fedora 14 earlier and there was no such problem. Thanks Vaibhav Jain
Hi, This is related to the problem below. Can anybody please tell me how to find out which modules would required to be compiled and installed before installing a vanilla kernel. I followed the steps in the email below, this time for Fedora 14 but it threw an error for some other module which I knowingly did not compile.I need to know which modules should not be left while compiling and installing a vanilla kernel.

try to re-use your Fedora kernel config (usually located in /boot with name like config-2.6.33-85.fc13.i686): copy that file to the directory where you unpack the new kernel source and rename that as .config then run "make oldconfig". The rest is the same. PS: I have been told by few friends that now you can use "make localmodconfig". This command will try to guess which options need to be enabled based on current loaded kernel modules. -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com
