Hi... From my linux box(redhat5,kernel2.0.32) I went downloadin linux-2.0.35.tar.gz . I created a /usr/src/linux2.0.35 directory where I ve untarred it succesfully (in /usr/src, I already have directories for kernel 2.0.32 and for 2.0.34). Then from /usr/src/linux2.0.35/linux, I did make config/make dep/make clean/make modules, make modules_install, and make zImage. I ve copied /usr/src/linux2.0.35/arch/i386/boot to /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.35, added a new stanza in /etc/lilo.conf and I also have a copy of my kernel-2.0.35 zImage on a floppy.
I)Basically, I chose to have kernel-2.0.35 for IP_masquerade, cause I know it is built in... But when loading kernel-2.0.35, I do not see any difference with the other previous kernels (exple:2.0.32) cause I still have that same old message of "Disabling IPV4 forwarding" at boot time, and my /etc/sysconfig/network file still have by default : FORWARD_IPV4=no Ok..I know I should enable that option...but for a kernel that was supposed to have IP_masquerade built in (kernel 2.0.35) ..It should have been done automatically (otherway, I would have kept my old kernel 2.0.32 and just play around the files). what do U think of that??
II)As far as I know, I can leave my original kernel 2.0.32 on my hard drive and have in its /usr/src directory, directories for my kernel-2.0.34, kernel-2.0.35..etc). From floppy, for ie, I can decide bootin with the kernel version of my choice. Is that correct?? III) So, any idea of why the boot time messages of my different kernel images are pratically similar, despite the fact that they are compiled with different components??
Thanks for time and consideration
