Hi,
I'm new to SuSE Linux and I'm (actually was) a long time RedHat user. Something very weird is happening. I've succesfully installed Suse sometime ago and I currently need a new module and decided to compile a new kernel. What I did was to be sure that I have installed package called lx_sus24 and compile the kernel cd /usr/src/linux
If you are running the precompiled SuSE kernel than make cloneconfig (to get the config of the SuSE kernel
make menuconfig (just select the additional package and leave others as they are) make dep make clean make modules make bzImage make modules_install make bzlilo (so vmlinuz and the system.map is copied to /boot
rename vmlinuz no need this
add an entry to lilo.conf and run lilo. Question 1: What am I missing? looks like not copying the vmlinuz
Question 2: What difference there exists in compiling kernel in Suse?
except for cloneconfig (specifig to SuSE nothing that I know) -- Togan Muftuoglu
