Richard, Get and extract the new kernel. "mv /scratch/directory/linux-x.x.x /usr/src" "cd /usr/src/linux-x.x.x" Copy .config from old kernel to /usr/src/linux-x.x.x (use config file found in /boot) "make oldconfig" Keep the stuff that works, and answer any new question "make xconfig" "make dep" "make clean" "make bzImage" "cp /arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-x.x.x" "ln -s /boot/vmlinuz-x.x.x /boot/vmlinuz-x.x.x-new-kernel" "make modules" "make modules_install" "make install" Edit /etc/rc.sysinit and change '/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe' to/sbin/modprobe' reboot "uname -r" will output the kernel in use I suggest you search last month's archive for a similar discussion on how best to recompile the kernel. it was called "Kernel Compile Checklist" or something similar The above steps are mostly based on that thread.
