Hi experts,
may I ask someone to take a look at the steps below I did to compile new kernel and let me know whether it looks ok before I reboot my PC? I've done this first time so I'm not very certain I did not miss anything and be able to boot old kernel in case new one does not work.
Thx, Martin
1. uname -r to find out my current kernel version 2. install kernel source rpm 3. cp /boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r) /boot/vmlinuz.old 4. cp /boot/initrd-$(uname -r) /boot/initrd.old 5. cd /usr/src/linux 6. zcat /boot/config > .config 7. make oldconfig 8. make xconfig - I did my changes here 9. make clean bzImage 10. make modules 11. INSTALL_PATH=/boot make install 12. make modules_install
What about the old kernel modules, make sure they are still around. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
