Argh! I just noticed that the numbering on the second half (recompiles)
wasn't corrected before I posted! I knew I was forgetting something...
Should be...
With fresh install:
-2: This list (and addendums) for kernels 2.4.x only.
-1: Start with fresh install of FC1 (2.4.22-1.2115)
0: Insert desired version number where x.x.x is present.
1: Get desired kernel and extract it.
2: "mv /scratch/directory/linux-x.x.x /usr/src"
3: "cd /usr/src/linux-x.x.x"
4: Copy .config from old kernel to /usr/src/linux-x.x.x
Since first compile since initial install, use config file found in
/boot.
5: "make oldconfig" (Keep the stuff that works, and only answer new
questions)
6: "make xconfig" or "make menuconfig" (as you like it)
7: "make bzImage"
8: "make modules"
9: "make modules_install"
10: "make install"
11: Edit /etc/rc.sysinit and change '/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe' to
/sbin/modprobe'.
12: "shutdown -r now"
13: After rebooting, and selecting new kernel option, type "uname -r" to
verify the new kernel is running.
If recompiling:
-1: This list (and addendums) for kernels 2.4.x only.
0: Insert desired version number where x.x.x is present.
1: Get desired kernel and extract it.
2: "mv /scratch/directory/linux-x.x.x /usr/src"
3: "cd /usr/src/linux-x.x.x"
4: "cp .config config.bak"
6: "make mrproper"
7: "make oldconfig"
8: "make dep"
9: "make bzImage"
10: "make modules"
11: "make modules_install"
12: "make install"
13: Edit /etc/rc.sysinit and change '/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe' to
/sbin/modprobe'.
14: "shutdown -r now"
15: After rebooting, and selecting new kernel option, type "uname -r" to
verify the new kernel is running.
Afterthought question: Why the need to edit /etc/rc.sysinit?
Okay, I'm done fiddling, time to get dirty.
