Re: boot kernel

["Santosh Pasi" <spasi diskonnet com>]

Hi Martin Tontsch,

Its long process and time consuming .. short desc
# cd /usr/src/linux
# make xconfig            # enable/disable as per your requirement
# make clean
# make dep
# make bzImage
# make modules
# make modules_install

You will get new kernel in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage
copy it to /boot
make necesary changes in lilo.conf (add new image) 
# lilo -v

For further information, read Kernel-HOWTO

Yes you can change RH CD kernel,  but here you need to change other settings 
in anaconda(the installer), creating new intrd image, etc.

Regards,
Santosh Pasi
