2.6.29.4 kernel

I did say that the 2.6.29.3 kernel would be the last one that I would compile for awhile, but before I even uploaded it, out came the 2.6.29.4 kernel.

So, I went through the exercise again. Here it is:

http://puppylinux.com/sources/kernel-2.6.29.4/

My intention is to stay with this one for sometime, except I will do a SMP compile.

I noticed that the kernel pet packages contains a firmeware.dep file and this file is not created during a standard kernel build process so I guess it is some Puppy (or Woof) specific file, correct? How do I go about to create this file? At the moment I am not adding or removing any drivers from the the configs provided by Barry, so could I just then copy this file from the corresponding pet package from Barry In case I would like to add or remove a driver, what actions do I have to do to create a "correct" firmware.dep file? Kind regards Lars

"/etc/modules/firmware.dep.<kernel version> is created manually. If compiling a new kernel, you can just reuse an earlier file. Any changes to the firmware tarballs in /lib/modules/all-firmware then you have to manually update the file.
