Morning all,
Tonight I'll be trying the kernel compile again, but before I do, I want to
bounce the changes off you wonderful, helping people.
-1: Start with fresh install of FC1 (2.4.22-1.2115)
0: Insert desired version number where x.x.x is present.
1: Get desired kernel and extract it.
2: "mv /scratch/directory/linux-x.x.x /usr/src"
3: "cd /usr/src/linux-x.x.x"
4: Copy .config from old kernel to /usr/src/linux-x.x.x
Since first compile since initial install, use config file found in
/boot.
5: "make oldconfig" (Keep the stuff that works, and only answer new
questions)
6: "make xconfig" (Make sure kernel options for Prism54 are set properly)
7: "make dep"
8: "make clean"
9: "make bzImage"
10: "cp /arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-x.x.x"
11: "ln -s /boot/vmlinuz-x.x.x /boot/vmlinuz-x.x.x-new-kernel"
12: "make modules"
13: "make modules_install"
14: "make install"
15: Edit /etc/rc.sysinit and change '/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe' to
/sbin/modprobe'.
16: "shutdown -r now"
17: After rebooting, and selecting new kernel option, type "uname -r" to
verify the new kernel is running.
So, whaddya think?
