Dear all,
  I was afraid to update to a newer kernel with all
the messages that the system won't boot but I am
taking a risk.  I have downloaded 2.6.11.7.tar.bz2 and
extracted it.  I read the README and have done the
following:
make mrproper
make xconfig
make dep
make clean
make bzImage

What else do i need to do?  I am still running
2.6.9-1.667.  I need to manually edit /boot/grub.conf
to put the new kernel. What advice can you give me?

Do I need to do a modules install? or something like
that.

I appreciate all the help that you can provide.


You don't need the "make dep" or "make clean" steps with 2.6 kernels.
Simply:

make mproper

^^^^^^^ "mrproper" (as above)

To use a scientific term...D'OH!

You'd think a keyboard could survive jelly doughnut residue, wouldn't
you?  :-)
