[PlanetCCRMA] A few questions about the Planet Kernel

[Mark Knecht]

The kernel test might be a good option. I'll look into this more this
evening.

Thanks,
Mark

etdev/8.0/en/os/i686/
and
http://www-ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/mirror/redhat/linux/planetdev/8.0/
en/os/i386/

You will have to download and install them manually as they are not part
of the repository. You don't need all the rpms that are there. Get only:

from the i686 directory:
  kernel-up-2.4.20-1.12.ll.acpi.i686.rpm
  alsa-driver-2.4.20-1.12.ll.acpi-0.9.0-44.i686.rpm

from the i386 directory:
  kernel-source-2.4.20-1.12.ll.acpi.i386.rpm
(needed only if you want to compile new kernel drivers - but this kernel
has been compiled with gcc 3.2 so you are out of luck in 7.3 :-)

To install the kernel:
  (do **NOT** use rpm -Uvh as that will erase previous kernels!
   you have been warned!!)
  rpm -ivh kernel-up-2.4.20-1.12.ll.acpi.i686.rpm
To install the alsa driver:
  rpm -Uvh alsa-driver-2.4.20-1.12.ll.acpi-0.9.0-44.i686.rpm
To install the kernel sources (optional at this point):
  rpm -ivh kernel-source-2.4.20-1.12.ll.acpi.i386.rpm
