@wow, thank you for the straight answer.
I had to stop using gnome due to a strange error.
I'll post about it in the appropriate thread hoping that someone could find a solution.

I have no idea how to compile the latest kernel at this point.

I was thinking somebody who has done it successfully really owes it the Puppy community to share the knowledge

Hey MU
When I open up your .config the first thing that greets me is, # CONFIG_64BIT is not set, and I saved up for an amd x2 64 cpu.
As a pensioned off spanner monkey, I havent got a clue as to recompileing a kernel. I'll put new rings and bearings and (if you do Tempestuous turbo 'enable Tickless System, High Resolution Timer Support, Realtime Preemptible Kernel, and high Timer frequency.') will nip up the pinion preload on 'ya V Woobble if you build me a 64 bit Puppy. (or just a 64 .config file so I can 'ave a go me self) Aung

so... anyone wanna package this up into an iso so someone can download it, and not search all over hades looking for the way to compile this thing?

I tried the chain of links from the first post, they end up terminating to "failed to change directory"

I released so many versions and updates, that I currently don't see, which is the correct one here on my computer.
The files on the ftp-server were lost during a hardware upgrade from the company where I worked, but they did not restore them yet.
I no longer have access to that server.

I plan to look at building a new kernel (the latest 2.6.27) again this month from scratch, and upload a new iso to my own server.

If someone still has the latest iso plus development.sfs (or a selfbuilt newer Kernel), and it works fine, then please upload it here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=99398#99398

Then send me a PM, so that I can move it to the public downloadarea on that server.

@michaelyahu: Oops, all urls to MU's isos and sfs are dead. An iso? well, my kernel is for i686 and newer microprocessors, supports SMP and doesn't have those extra drivers included in Puppy (unionfs, r8101, acx-mac80211, gspcav, etc). So might not work for you. However I can upload this kernel in puppy-unleashed format.

EDIT:
Uploaded linux-2.6.27.5_wow-i686.tar.bz2; initrd-2.6.27.5_wow.gz and linux-2.6.27.5_wow.txt. Waiting for MU's confirmation.

linux kernel 2.6.27.5 i686 for puppy unleashed:
i646 kernel, SMP, Hyperthreading, more joystick drivers, ForceFeedback, 99 loop devices,
vfat partitions use UTF-8 by default, initrd.gz supports up to 40 SFSs, squashfs-LZMA

[linux-2.6.27.5_wow-i686.tar.bz2]:
kernel in puppy-unleashed format, extract to puppy-unleashed/kernels/

[initrd-2.6.27.5_wow.gz]:
rename to initrd.gz, use this file instead the one made by puppy-unleashed or this kernel won't boot. Reason: missing modules (nls_utf8, nls_cp850, unionfs)

Thank you Mu for kindly host the files.

Raffy uploaded again the Puppy 4.1 with Kernel 2.6.27 for a frugal installation.
Thanks Raffy!

The "second version" is named .627, the "third" version is named .628.

MU - I hope this is the right place

I've got a little request for an enhancement to your 2.6.27 kernel. Please add the pciehp module (/lib/modules/2.6.27/kernel/drivers/pci/hotplug/pciehp.ko)
When this code is executed

I collected the files, that wow mentioned that he used to patch 2.6.27.5.
The download locations changed, some stuff can now be found here:
ftp://ftp.slax.org/source/slax/sqlzma/

I also included a step-by-step mu-kernel.txt how I applied them.
Get it (3 MB) here:
http://dotpups.de/diverse-tgz/linux-2.6.27.5-patches.tgz

I am not certain, if they are identical to wows kernel, it takes so long to compile it, that I must continue tomorrow.
Read here about why I try to build it:

I think I shall have to ask the question I should have asked in the first place. Can Puppy ever be run as AMD64 bit. Would devx.sfs still work or would it need to be remade also. And dont you dare tell me to go try Ubongo drums or Debuggered or you will get an ear full. Aung
