Hello! I have used Linux since RH9 to FC3 for 6 months but I don't know how to complie the kernel because I can't find any clear procedure to do that. And I noticed that kernel 2.6 is changed and some steps needn't. I am new in complie the kernel because I just install the rpm before. And due to my USB harddisk shown the buffering error shown from kernel. So I may need to re-complie the kernel to fix it. And I saw someone posted some steps of complie a custom kernel of 2.6.x as follows: I read from a magazine as ------------------------------------------------ 1. Unpack sources into /usr/src/ 2. make xconfig 3. make menuconfig 4. make 5. make modules_install 6. make install 7. reboot the machine OR Someone posted as ----------------------------- 1. Unpack sources into /usr/src/ 2. make 3. make modules 4. make modules_install 5. make install 6. reboot the mahine Which one is the right way ? Would it become rpm? And how about to become a rpm ? How to remove the error kernel if failed ? Thanks for helping me first because they make me mixed. And sorry for my english is poor. Ringo
