I can't make xconfig? When I try it puts out this perplexing output:
root@zim:/usr/src/linux# make xconfig
scripts/kconfig/qconf arch/i386/Kconfig
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
qconf: cannot connect to X server :0.0
make[1]: *** [xconfig] Error 1
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2
No idea why it wouldn't be able to connect to the server. It's running, I'm using it right now.
Rewrite it so people have to find the latest patch, and then tweak the scripts to use it themselves.Originally Posted by MasterChief1234

I believe xconfig is a KDE app, do you have the various kdelibs packages installed?Originally Posted by Phlod

I now have about 6 diffrent Kernels in my menu.lst , but how do i completly remove a old or non working kernel, i figure it might be pretty stupid to something wrong here, and have to it all over again.
title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.16-cks3
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-cks3
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16-cks3
Only these 2 that i have to remove? ill think i need a step by step howto here
Thanks dcstar! One of these days I'll learn to NOT try this stuff when half asleep! Thanks for noticing the typo in my last attempt (do I feel stupid).Originally Posted by dcstar
New Kernel is working great!
Thanks Again!

It seems the imported /boot/config-blabla is not very "compatible" with the latest kernels. It misses a lot of options originally present in Ubuntu's kernel (the output on the terminal when typed "sudo make xconfig" shows the incompatible arguments in .config I guess). And you have to manually go in there and double check everything (which I can't do, bc I'm clueless )Originally Posted by MasterChief1234
One example is iptables. The new config made from the old one totally misses the iptables configuration in the kernel. With the new kernel, you don't have a firewall anymore. To fix that, check out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=151824

Synaptic. Then search for kernel and find it. The name should be something like "linux-image-2.6.**.*" Where the * are the name then click the box on the left and select "Remove Completly."Originally Posted by ludzter
just to correct, it will say kernel-image-blabla. Just make sure you're not uninstalling the wrong kernel, and I think you shouldn't uninstall a kernel while you are running on itOriginally Posted by MasterChief1234
To make sure you're not removing the kernel you're using, use uname -r.

Great thread... however I ran into some problems, which I'm sure are powerpc-related, who knows... I was hoping someone could shed some light on this.
I followed your directions, except I didn't implement the patch or rename the directory, though I don't think that should matter. After doing "make kpkg-clean", and then the command to "make-kpkg -initrd kernel_image", it starts doing it's thing for quite some time (15-20 min) and then it stops with at the following:
I used the old config from my config-2.6.15-19-powerpc64-smp. And I used gconfig.ld: drivers/built-in.o section .init.text exceeds stub group size
