LordHatrus Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 I'm not going to write it all down.. heres a link.. (theres a bajillion links on how to compile the kernel) http://www.linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/Kernel-HOWTO.html If you need further help - tell us exactly what you did, and where/how it messes up. :sleep: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjordan2001 Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Download the file to your /usr/src tar xvfjp yourkernel.tar.bz2 or tar xvfz yourkernel.tar.gz cd yourkernel make menuconfig *select what you need* make all modules_install cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.6 cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6 and modify your bootloader.

kongit Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 I'd follow the other instructions first as you probably need a little more info than that. you really don't want to mess up here. I read up on changing my kernel for twodays off and on before I even attempted it. and guess what? no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjordan2001 Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 The biggest place you can mess up is not selecting everything you need in the kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercuryx013 Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Download the file to your /usr/srctar xvfjp yourkernel.tar.bz2 or tar xvfz yourkernel.tar.gz cd yourkernel make menuconfig *select what you need* make all modules_install cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.6 cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6 and modify your bootloader. Doesn't he also need to run /sbin/mkinitrd ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjordan2001 Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Doesn't he also need to run /sbin/mkinitrd ? Guessing that makes an initrd for him? Don't know if it's necessary for suse to have one, but couldn't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
