Sometimes it will work the other way around but not always proper order for 2.6.6 make mrproper or clean* make oldconfig make bzImage make modules make modules_install make install* * should not be need if you are using freshly unzipped kernel source from kernel.org. RedHat Source packages sometimes need mrproper to be run. * note make install is based on a distro specific script you may need to do this by hand sometimes. To do copy bzImage to proper location and make new initrd. -- Mark Lane, CET mailto:mark@xxxxxxxxxxxx Hard Data Ltd. http://www.harddata.com T: 01-780-456-9771 F: 01-780-456-9772 11060 - 166 Avenue Edmonton, AB, Canada, T5X 1Y3 --> Ask me about our Excellent 1U Systems! <--
