[opensuse] Compiling kernel.
Hi all. I'm a new SLES9 user but I've been using Linux for some time. I'm trying to upgrade the kernel on a SLES9 server and am having problems. I've compiled the kernel and copied it to /boot/bzImage. I've created an entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst. The problem is that no matter what I do, it seems to load the same (factory) version of the kernal. So what is the prescribed method of upgrading the kernel under SLES9? TIA, -- Mike Diehl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Did you remember to change the kernel name in "make menuconfig"? If you don't, modules get placed and load incorrectly. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Hey,
So what is the prescribed method of upgrading the kernel under SLES9?
Install the Service Packs for SLES9. BTW, what kernel version did you compile? Did you install also kernel-source?
