I've uploaded them in the repository here:
http://people.salixos.org/shador/kernels/i486/ (i486)

All source and build files are here:

Adding the repository (not compulsory)
You can either download the package files directly or you can add the repository like this to your /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc:
Code: Select all
SOURCE=http://people.salixos.org/shador/kernels/i486/:CUSTOM
Code: Select all
SOURCE=http://people.salixos.org/shador/kernels/x86_64/:CUSTOM
Base kernel packages (minimal)
Some Information regarding the installation. I renamed the packages/kernel as far as possible (for kernel-headers and kernel-firmware that's not possible) so you can install them alongside with the stock Slackware 13.37 kernel. You need to at least install kernel modules and the kernel itself. Just smp and huge kernels are available as they are almost exclusively used by Salix users.
For 32Bit the package names are:
- kernel-huge-recent-smp
- kernel-modules-recent-smp
- kernel-huge-recent
- kernel-modules-recent
Code: Select all
lilo -c -v
Code: Select all
update-grub
Additional kernel packages:
For wireless you probably need to update the kernel-firmware package too. It conflicts with the radeon_ucode package because it contains that firmware too.
If you need them, an updated kernel-headers and a separate kernel-source-recent package are available. The latter one also changes the symlink /usr/src/linux to point at the new kernel sources. Again you can just reinstall the old kernel-source package or revert it manually.
Other hints
A short note regarding loopback: That functionality has been moved to a module (instead of builtin) with slackware current. For me that module wasn't autoloaded so resulted in mount failures at first. I recommend you add such a line to your /etc/rc.d/rc.modules in any case:
Code: Select all
modprobe loopback
Apart from that you might want to update your /etc/rc.d/rc.modules symlink to point at the new rc.modules-3.3.6-recent file. But that's absolutely not necessary, unless you feel you need it.
Version information
The currently available versions are:
- 3.3.6
I hope that short guide makes it easier for you. If you have any questions or notice any problem, you're welcome to post here.
