I've bought a brand new IBM ThinkPad (Lenovo) R52, and installed slackware linux 10.2. Here
is the step by step instructions;
1. First of all grep the iso images, and burn them...
# wget ftp://ftp.linux.org.tr/pub/slackware/slackware-10.1-iso-bittorrent/slackware-10.1-install-d1.iso
# wget ftp://ftp.linux.org.tr/pub/slackware/slackware-10.1-iso-bittorrent/slackware-10.1-install-d2.iso
# cdrecord -scanbus
scsibus0:
0,1,0 1) 'HL-DT-ST' 'CD-RW GCE=8525B ' '1.02' Removable CD-ROM
# cdrecord -v speed=24 dev=0,1,0 --driveroptions="burnfree" -data slackware-10.1-install-d1.iso
# cdrecord -v speed=24 dev=0,1,0 --driveroptions="burnfree" -data slackware-10.1-install-d2.iso
|
|
2. Boot the R52 with disc 1.
It is ok to boot with standart bare.i image, but booting with test26.s will
save your time. with bare.i E-IDE driver will be used, becouse there is no SCSI
driver selected in bare.i kernel image (hdd -> /dev/hda, dvd/cd-rw -> /dev/hdc).
but after installing slackware linux you will want to use dvd/cd-rw and you will
enable SCSI driver... ups ;) EIDE driver is not avaible while SCSI is enabled.
after enabling SCSI you should enable SATA, and change fstab, too. why not just
boot via test26.s ;)
- to use linux-2.4.x, just follow the documentation.
- to use linux-2.6.x and be wirless, skip 4. and 5. steps.
- you can always update your kernel to 2.6 with following 10. step.
3. Install slackware linux
i assume that everyone knows how to install slackware ;) and here is the tip:
harddrive is attached to /dev/sda.
4. Boot again from disc 1.
this is for compiling the linux kernel...
boot: test26.s
# mount /dev/sdax /mnt
# chroot /mnt
# cd /usr/include
# rm -rf asm
# rm -rf asm-i386
# rm -rf linux
# ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/asm/ ./asm
# ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386 ./asm-i386
# ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux ./linux
# cd /usr/src/linux
# make clean
# make mrproper
# make menuconfig
|
|
now, go and edit your libata.h
# cd /usr/include/linux/
# vi libata.h
|
|
change these lines;
#undef ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI
#undef ATA_ENABLE_PATA
|
|
to;
#define ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI
#define ATA_ENABLE_PATA
|
|
and, go on ;)
# cd /usr/src/linux
# make dep
# make bzImage
# make modules
# make modules_install
# rm /boot/vmlinuz*
# cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz
# lilo
# exit
# reboot
|
|
here is my kernel configuration file; kconfig-2.4.32
5. I love devfs
# wget ftp://ftp.atnf.csiro.au/pub/people/rgooch/linux/daemons/devfsd/devfsd-v1.3.25.tar.gz
# tar -zxvf devfsd-v1.3.25.tar.gz
# cd devfsd
# make
# make install
|
|
# cat > /etc/rc.d/rc.devfsd << EOF
>#!/bin/sh
>
>if [ "$1" = "stop" ]; then
> echo "Stopping devfsd..."
>elif [ "$1" = "restart" ]; then
> echo "Restarting devfsd..."
>else # assume $1 = start:
> echo "Starting devfsd: /sbin/devfsd /dev"
> /sbin/devfsd /dev
>fi
>EOF
# chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.devfsd
|
|
6. Boot from harddisk.
7. Configure Xorg
here is my xorg.conf; xorg.conf
8. Burn cd
your dvd rom is now attached to /dev/sr0, change fstab;
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,owner,ro 0 0
|
|
to;
/dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,owner,ro 0 0
|
|
9. Long live slackware! ;)
10. Upgrade to linux-2.6.16 kernel, and be wireless.
here is my kernel configuration file; kconfig-2.6.16
# cd /usr/src/
# wget http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.16.tar.bz2
# wget http://alperakcan.org/documents/slackware%20linux%20on%20thinkpad%20r52/kconfig-2.6.16
# tar -jxvf linux-2.6.16.tar.bz2
# rm linux
# ln -s linux-2.6.16 linux
# cd /usr/include
# rm -rf linux asm asm-i386 asm-generic
# ln -sf /usr/src/linux/include/asm ./asm
# ln -sf /usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386 ./asm-i386
# ln -sf /usr/src/linux/include/asm-generic ./asm-generic
# ln -sf /usr/src/linux/include/linux ./linux
# cd /usr/src/linux
# make mrproper
# cp ../kconf-2.6.16 ./.config
# make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install
# cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16

change your /etc/lilo.conf properly
now, be wireless;

11. Connect to AP
11.1 Connect to AP - no encryption
# iwlist eth1 scanning
...
# iwconfig eth1 essid "essid"
# iwconfig eth1 key off
# dhcpcd eth1
|
|
11.2 Connect to AP - WEP
it is very easy to connect with WEP (ipw2200).
# iwlist eth1 scanning
...
# iwconfig eth1 essid "essid"
# iwconfig eth1 key s:"key"
# dhcpcd eth1
|
|
11.3 Connect to AP - WPA
i know that you need wpa (ipw2200) ;)
# wget http://hostap.epitest.fi/releases/wpa_supplicant-0.4.9.tar.gz
# tar -zxvf wpa_supplicant-0.4.9.tar.gz
# cd wpa_supplicant-0.4.9
