However, Appendix B attempts to direct you to the location of detailed information on this kernel. This guide further outlines a successful installation of the 2.2 kernel to ProLiant 1850R and 1600R servers, and to validate the new kernel on these servers. The most important area to address is the location of information regarding the new 2.2 kernel version. Several links outline this below: x ftp://ftp.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.2 - Location of the Linux kernel 2.2 archives. This location is a U.S. mirror. x www.kernel.org/mirrors - Listing of kernel.org mirrors throughout the world. x www-stu.calvin.edu/~clug/users/jnieho38/goto22.html - Jon Niehof's 2.2 kernel upgrade HOWTO. x metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html - A basic Linux kernel HOWTO guide from the Linux Documentation Project. x roadrunner.swansea.linux.org.uk/clue.html - Alan Cox's Clue-Point-Two site with helpful information on building the 2.2 kernel. x linuxtoday.com/stories/296.html - Linux Today's guide to the 2.2 kernel. The upgrade has become increasingly simple in recent weeks. Both Red Hat and SuSE provide kernel RPM packages as well as RPM packages for upgrading necessary utilities. Caldera's recently released OpenLinux 2.2 includes the new kernel directly in the distribution. To upgrade a distribution to kernel version 2.2, do the following: Obtain the kernel upgrade RPM package from the distribution vendor of choice. If the particular version is not as up-to-date as one would like, then obtain the update patch from www.kernel.org . SuSE provides its updated kernel and supporting packages at the following locations: x ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/SuSE-6.0/kernel/d1/lx_suse.rpm (kernel) x ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/SuSE-6.0/kernel/d1/binutils.rpm x ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/SuSE-6.0/kernel/a1/conf.modules x ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/SuSE-6.0/kernel/a1/devs.rpm x ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/SuSE-6.0/kernel/a1/kernmod.rpm x ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/SuSE-6.0/kernel/a1/net_tool.rpm x ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/SuSE-6.0/kernel/a1/pciutils.rpm x ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/SuSE-6.0/kernel/a1/ps.rpm Red Hat provides its 2.2 upgrade packages at x ftp://updates.redhat.com/5.2/kernel-2.2/i386/dhcpcd-1.3.16-0.i386.rpm x ftp://updates.redhat.com/5.2/kernel-2.2/i386/initscripts-3.78-2.4.i386.rpm ECG513/0399
