Linux Component Update Question.

[paulh]

Hello,

I have the need to update a device driver for a scsi drive, so that I can use it with my 2.2.16-22 kernel (currently, it's on a 2.2.14-5 kernel). Can anybody point me in the right direction for procedures on how to do this update to the driver? Also, I would like to know how to update a 2.2.whatever to a 2.4 kernel (I have several Linux boxes). Thanx to anyone that can help!

check out the nhf's, there's a lot of info there. You will need to get several files, the first of which is the new kernel. Go to www.kernel.org, (http://www.kernel.org,) or ftp.kernel.org and get it. tar xzvf linux-2.4.2.tar.gz and go into the new linux directory. Read the readme and also go into the DOcumentation directory and read the Changes file. That'll tell you what else you need to update.
