New x86_64 Linux kernel RPM for Pavilion zv5000z users

Posted: 23 November 2004 at 15:08:11

I’m getting much closer to hosting a complete set of instructions for running Linux, particularly Fedora Core, on the Hewlett Packard Pavilion zv5000z laptop.

I’ve been building my own custom kernels, but last night I built my own RPM spec file for the latest 2.6.9 kernel source RPM for Fedora Core 3 which applies the patches necessary to get the ALPS touchpad working.

I will be putting a whole page together as a way of supporting other users of these laptops, but in the meantime, here’s the kernel:

kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3_Pavilion_zv5000z.root.x86_64.rpm

The RPM was built and signed (with GPG) by me. You can get my GPG public key here.
