I am new to Linux, about 1 week new. I purchased The SuSE Linux 6.0, and have installed it, and after many man pages, and How-To's I have got almost everything working. But I have a question? I downloaded the new Kernal 2.2.2 of the SuSE web site, but do not know how to go about installting it. I have learned how to compile the kernal, as I have done it at least 25 times in the last week! But I do not know how to upgrade one.
After you compile, copy the System.Map from /usr/src/linux to /boot. Copy /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzIage to /boot/vmlinuz Then run lilo, and you should see "added linux" or whatever you named it. If lilo fails, edit your /etc/lilo.conf to give the right names. In my /boot I keep System.Map036, System.map224, vmlinuz036, and vmlinuz224. That way I can rename System.map and vmlinuz to switch kernels if I want. Also remember to do a make modules and make modules_install. -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
