Make sure you have the kernel-source RPM installed: # yum install kernel-source # cd /usr/src/linux-<whatever version> # make mrproper # cp configs/<pick file for your processor[s]> .config [Optionally edit Makefile, change "custom" on the "EXTRAVERSION =" line to something more descriptive] # make oldconfig # make gconfig [or menuconfig if not in X - configure as desired - minimal changes for now as you're not familiar with the process - tune the heck out of it later if comfortable/adventurous.] # (make && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install \ && make install) >& /tmp/MakeKernel.log [all one line] Go for coffee, do some other work, take a nap, come back the next day - depending on processor speed. Check log file for errors when it's done. If not OK go back to gconfig step. Check/edit /boot/grub/grub.conf, cross fingers, reboot. Phil
