Comment 32 for bug 366352

Hi, Ive been working off base here with another distro, knoppix for the sake of a lab, and gaming programmer.

I do however want to get back to Ubuntu, for the purposes of another project game.

While I was on knoppix this summer I came across this post, and have put this off until now, but the thing is I have also been working closely with the same kernel as luis, the 2.6.29.6-rt23 rt-kernel freely available online.

I have been attempting to boot knoppix with this kernel using the kernel changing tutorials found on the wiki, however you know how those wiki's are sometimes they leave out idle info's like in my case how the patches are reqquired and how the ini and the initrd should be compiled with out the use of functional modules?

any one want to do a walk through on this or a blogg separate to this?
and one for /Ubuntu is fine I’m sure the minirt.gz in knoppix is similarity helpful in the modules for knoppix. as passing the knoppix operating parameters on to the kernel built modules via the initrd=/boot/minitr.gz option

The boiled down question as per relating to Ubuntu is how would I create a dual boot system with both the Knoppix gaming lab (compiler+forensic set) and the testing distro Ubuntu prototyping set??

I could really use some help on this. I’m planing on using grub2, however I currently have only grub-legacy on the MRB. I would like to upgrade for chainloading and pxe boot options to become available.

currently available is my knoppix disrto as a compiler distro it uses the 2.6.19 kernel with the usual patches (knoppix setup.c patch) and a slab.c patch along with a ksize, lhash, and fuse patches.

I would also like to upgrade all compiler tools on this disrto for newer 4.3+ compiler toolset under the usual /usr/src/toolset. however in knoppix it seems all compiler tools are preinstalled in the /usr/src and there darn difficult to update to the newer sets (so far).

My ubuntu distro chosen is the gutsy set. (just call me a dill) just don’t call me obsolete.
