Hi, I'm about to build a new kernel (2.2.10), and would like to go over the steps for compiling (not make kpkg) as I'm not sure about them:
# make config (or menuconfig) here I have a doubt about the options which can be configured as loadable modules instead of compiling into the kernel. Say I use a device too often, eg. cdrom. If I configure it as a loadable module, would this imply the performance would be any different than if compiled it in the kernel? Or, ppp, or other services which can be used oftenly. # make dep # make clean # make zImage probably bzImage for 2.2.x kernels? # make modules # rm -rf /lib/modules/2.0.36/ well, if I removed the old modules and had problems with the new kernel, I wouldn't be able to use the old kernel, so this step should probably (definately) be avoided. # make modules_install # depmod -a # mv /path/to/zImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.10 # mv /path/to/System.map /boot/System.map-2.2.10 # cd / # rm vmlinuz # ln -s /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.10 vmlinuz next, reflect the changes in /etc/lilo.conf # lilo Anything missing?
