facing problem while patching kernel for support o
« on: June 24, 2004, 11:46:30 AM »
hello friends i am patching my kernel for support of mobile ipv6 and download the patch form
" http://www.mobile-ipv6.org/download/mipv6-1.0-v2.4.22.tar.gz"
and download new kernel from "ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.22.tar.bz2"
and following the guide to patch the kernel "http://www.tldp.org/howto/mobile-ipv6-howto/mipv6.html#patch"
and to compile the kernel "http://linuxguide.automatedshops.com/LinuxGuide/linux-kernel.html"
but problem comes when i reboot with the system with the new kernel .
from the message it seems that the some default setting to run a normal kernel is not done.
i tried to load the old " .config " file into new kernel so that the default setting which were working in the
previous setup comes in the new kernel to .but on reboot message comes that "modules are compiled for the
previous kernel and cann't be used for the the new patched kernel"
can any body tell me how to load the defalt setting for a kernel to work,so that i can add option which i required
(for mobile ipv6)if i seems to be less explitic i will be very thanlkful to you if you can contact me

Unfortunately your last two links do not point to the right locations, so I don't know what you know and what you exactly did.
Try to do a
$ make clean
or a
$ make mrproper
(note: the last one will delete your .config).
Did you properly configure your kernel with
$ make menuconfig
or similiar?
