( UPDATE) SMP kernel w/ modules ready for install.

HOWTO install SMP Kernel in Puppy Linux 2.12-14

Post problems here I know there will be problems as when I use this method on my system sound does not work. I did a make modules_install on my main system and it works fine the problem is getting it to work with the zdrv_213.sfs.

Grab the files

Puppy-Kernel-SMP - The kernel image
zdrv_213.sfs - Kernel modules
modules.tar.gz - Some more kernel modules

Files are at

http://puppyfiles.org/puppyfiles/Kernel ... d-and-SMP/

and if Mark has not mirrored some yet they are at ftp.servage.net

usr 123upload
pass puppylinux



1. Install new copy of Puppy to hardrive normal or option 2 way as of right not coexist or option 1 style will not work. This should work with any version that has zdrv_2**.sfs file I think so at least 2.12 - 2.14 should be ok.

2. Still booted on the Live CD. Replace /YOUR_install_dir/zdrv_213.sfs with the one I made

3. Replace /boot/vmliuz with Puppy-Kernel-SMP and rename it to vmliuz so you don't have to mess with grub.

4. replace /lib/modules/2.6.18.1 with the same dir in the file modules.tar.gz

5. Reboot and select your new install.

6. Report findings on this thread.



Another note..... The kernels I uploaded have been patched for Suspend 2 Disk as well. This is a work in progress. I thing basically the hibernate script will have to be rewritten for Puppy because of ti's Puppyness. I have hacked my file and it is working but does not recover 1 out of 10 or 20 times for no reason??

[brad_chuck]

uploading it now.. don't know why it did not go the first time...

Don't try to get it for another 10 min or so as not to mess up the upload.

EDIT: It's uploaded now..
