The kernel compilation steps and commands are explained in documents inside the Documentation directory of the kernel source tree. After configuration "make" and "make install" are enough. > I changed the EXTRAVERSION to something else.

"make oldconfig" reads in an existing .config file and checks whether the compiling user has to give instructions for settings which are in the kernel source but not covered by the existing .config. It is good to run "make oldconfig" twice to make sure the .config is really processed completely. Inside the deflated kernel source tree there is a "configs" directory containing the configurations an rpmbuild process would use for building the kernel RPM(s). > Rob Alexander -- Alexander Dalloz | Enger, Germany | GPG http://pgp.mit.edu 0xB366A773 legal statement: http://www.uni-x.org/legal.html Fedora Core 2 GNU/Linux on Athlon with kernel 2.6.11-1.35_FC2smp Serendipity 00:36:38 up 4 days, 7:28, load average: 0.17, 0.28, 0.25
