Hi, Wang,
Thanks for replying. So which step is doing the compilation of each
module , "make oldconfig" or "make" ? For compilation, I mean the step
to compile the source code to .o file.
Regards,
Mike

Hi, Dick,
Your steps work beautifully. Thanks.
If you could explain a little about what happens in each step, that
would be even better.
# cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.20.3
If your current kernel is 2.6.20.3, edit the Makefile to
add some character after "EXTRAVERSION" as EXTRAVERSION= 3x
# cp .config ..
Save your existing config file in the parent directory.
# make distclean
Clean the files generated by last compiling.
# cp ../.config .
Copy your .config back here.
# make oldconfig
"The make oldconfig command causes the kernel configuration process to
read in your existing configuration information and then prompt you
for a value for any kernel configuration variables that were not
provided set the existing kernel configuration file."
# make
Check all changed object files, and do the final kernel image link.
# make modules_install
Reinstall the newly-compiled modules.
# make install
Copy the kernel image and system.map to /boot and modify
/boot/grub/menu.lst (or lilo.conf) properly.
