Re: [ts-7000] Boot new kernel on TS-7800

[HaJee H <>]

Oke, that explains why after a reboot the new kernel isn't loaded.

The method i used is based on compiling a new debian kernel and creates an installable package.
The is compiled using the kernel sources we provide at
ftp://ftp.embeddedA RM.com/ts- arm-sbc/ts- 7800-linux/ sources/linux- 2.6.21-ts- src-latest. tar.gz

On your website I read your method of compiling a new kernel.
Just to be sure. For compiling a new kernel (for a ts7800):

make menuconfig
make ts7800_config
make oldconfig
make dep

and than dd the new kernel to partition 2.

and for the new modules:

make modules
make modules_install

TIA

Oh and I also should add I'm not sure what kernel source that is going
to install if you use make-kpkg, as I've never used that before. Is it
using the kernel sources we provide at
ftp://ftp.embeddedA RM.com/ts- arm-sbc/ts- 7800-linux/ sources/linux- 2.6.21-ts- src-latest. tar.gz

?
