Re: kernel compile procedure

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I download 2.6.7 from www.kernel.org and untar/ungzip this file in
/usr/src/linux-2.6.7

in this directory I copy a configuration file from Fedora Core 2
Official kernel rpm package to .config

make menuconfig
make rpm


afther a lot of time I have a kernel-2.6.7.i386.rpm in
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS and install it ussing rpm -ivh
kernel-2.6.7.i386.rpm. After all I generate manually initrd for this
version and add proper configuration to /etc/grub.conf . Actually I
have a 2.6.7 kernel with all my modifications from a .config of
previously version, installed ussing rpm and up and running without
problems.

other alternative ussing 2.6 kernel is "make all" or "make install".
See what other options you have doing "make help".

Regards 

Daniel
