LLL63 addendum part III
Kernel compiling the old fashioned way (or like granny used to do it)

To be safe/cover the bases, make sure that these packages have been installed: kernel-package,build-essential,libncurses5-dev,libqt3-mt-dev,libqt3-headers, and module-assistant.

After downloading and extracting the kernel source tree into your /usr/src/ directory, create a symlink from the newly created directory to /usr/src/linux, then cd to /usr/src/linux/ and issue the following command as root:

make oldconfig

Select the default answers, or Y, N, or M as needs suit.

Next issue the following commands as root:

make dep (I don't think this command is necessary with kernel 2.6.x)

make clean

make bzImage

make modules

make modules_install

make install

You will also need to run this command:

mkinitramfs -o /boot/init-2.6.24.img 2.6.24

where 2.6.24 is the version of the kernel you just compiled.

Edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file to include the new stanza necessary to boot your new kernel.

Note: If you recompile/rebuild a kernel from a kernel source tree directory where you have previously run any of the above commands, you will need to first run a make mrproper to tidy up the source tree before proceeding. ymmv

LLL63 addendum part II
How to compile a kernel downloaded from kernel.org on a debian based distro (or the commands I mentioned in LLL63, or the world's shortest kernel howto):

To be safe/cover the bases, make sure that these packages have been installed: kernel-package,build-essential,libncurses5-dev,libqt3-mt-dev,libqt3-headers, and module-assistant.

After downloading and extracting the kernel source tree into your /usr/src/ directory, create a symlink from the newly created directory to /usr/src/linux, then cd to /usr/src/linux/ and issue the following command as root:

make oldconfig

Select the default answers, or Y, N, or M as needs suit.

Next issue this command as root:

make-kpkg --initrd buildpackage kernel_image

Go watch TV and come back in an hour, and then issue this command (again as root):

dpkg -i ../*.deb

Reboot :-D

ymmv
