Been going through install steps per post #2141(?)...going OK except for now at this step:


4. flash new kernel:

Code:
cd /home/user/MyDocs
wget http://downloads.nitdroid.com/Jay-c/zImage-2.6.28.NIT.02.tar.gz
tar xzvf zImage-2.6.28.NIT.02.tar.gz
rm System.map-2.6.28.NIT.02
When I do the step 'tar xzvf zImage-2.6.28.NIT.02.tar.gz' above, I got the following error message:

Code:
zImage-2.6.28.NIT.02.tar.gz
tar: zImage-2.6.28.NIT.02.tar.gz: Cannot change ownership to uid 0, gid 0: Operation not permitted
System.map-2.6.28.NIT.02
tar: System.map-2.6.28.NIT.02: Cannot change ownership to uid 0, gid 0: Operation not permitted
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
So, I tried doing this:

Code:
# chmod 777 zImage-2.6.28.NIT.02.tar.gz
But it made no difference, got same error message as before....

Any suggestions, please?

Thanks!

Please use the HELP thread for help questions.

tar is saying that it cannot apply permissions because you are extracting on a FAT32 partition (MyDocs).

That being said, I think you'll find that the files were still extracted if you do an ls, it is just that the permissions could not be set. See if that's the case.

we do have, but people insist on using the dev thread!!!!
its also here in the alternatives forums!

anyway to the flashing problem, mohammadag had a deb you could install, this is the newest kernel as of now, it will flash the kernel and install kernel modules

you can also find it in nitdroid.com on the changelog wiki page

install it like any other deb file
