Re: [mpls-linux-general] MPLS Kernel Loading problem

[Adrian P. <adr...@gm...>]

Hello,

In order to use kernel 2.6.22 you'll have to use mpls-linux 1.9.58. You have
2 options: If you're using a fedora core system, it's much easier to install
the rpms, but if you're using a different type of system (that doesn't
support rpm), you'll have to patch and compile the kernel and the other
tools yourself. You can follow the general steps I used here:
http://www.elcom.pub.ro/~adrian.popa/mpls-linux/mpls-linux-docs/1-3-installation.htmlbut
adjust the commands to match your version of mpls-linux and packets.
The
configuration options for the kernel are shown in the previous page (also
with screenshots)

Good luck!
