Hi I am new to suse ive used RH9 for a while but now compiling the kernel in suse is abit different.Would someone please tell me what are the right steps now? In RH9 i normaly went: make mrproper, make xconfig , make dep , make clean , make bzImage , make modules , make modules_install , make install and the kernel will be ready to use.I would also edit the Makefile to give the new kernel my own name. What do you do in suse? Ive done the following: make clean , make bzImage , make modules. cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz and then ran make modules_install. Is this the correct way off compiling the kernel in suse if not what are the correct steps? Do i not need to get a .config file some where like you do in RH9?

Compiling a kernel on any Linux, PC, mainframe, SuSE, Mandrake, RedHat,
whatever, is the same. In SuSE, you can do a "make cloneconfig" which
builds a .config file, the long way round that or if you are not using a
SuSE kernel.........
You can do "make mrproper" if you like, but it's not usually necessary.
1. cd /usr/src/linux-?????
2. "cp /boot/config-2.6.4-54.5-default .config" (e.g)
or "cp /proc/config.gz .config.gz
"gzip -d .config.gz"
3. "make xconfig" or whatever flavour of config you like
4. "make clean && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install"
5. "cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/
