How to compile a kernel

1. Unpack the tarball in your home directory

Quote:

# bzip2 -dc linux-2.6.0.tar.bz2 tar xvf -

2. cd into the linux directory. You’ll now need to configure the kernel to select the features you want. There are several ways to do this..

Quote:

# make config –> Command line questions
# make oldconfig –> Useful only if you kept a .config from a previous kernel build
# make menuconfig –> ncurses based
# make gconfig –> GTK+ based X-Windows configuration
# make xconfig –> QT based X-Windows configuration

3. Now we can build the kernel

Quote:

# make

4. Install the modules

Quote:

# make modules_install

5. Install the new kernel..

Quote:

# cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.0
# cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.6.0

6. Edit /etc/lilo.conf, and add these lines…

Quote:

image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.0
label = 2.6.0

Thanks & Regards
