how do you compile kernel 2.6 in suse9


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

Doesn't he also need to run /sbin/mkinitrd ?
