hi listers, i have some kernel related questions, i have read the fine manunal (kernel-howto) but didn't get answers to these.
1. How do i decide which modules to load at boot time, which file is to be edited? (i am thinking that i'll compile support for lots of devices - cd-writer, different network cards - as modules that way i won't have to recompile kernel when i add those devices. So i don't want all my modules to be loaded at boot time. Also, i don't want to dynamically and automatically load/unload modules) 2. What is the function of system.map file, after compiling kernel (the non-debian way) is it necessary to copy the file to /boot and edit lilo.conf to reflect changes. 3. i compiled the kernel, now do i need to get kernel-headers? What is the function of kernel-headers? 4. Right now i am copying kernel bzImage into /boot renaming it, and editing lilo. Also for modules i #make modules #make modules_install If i already have the same version of kernel running does old module tree get over-written or not? thanks n regards sukrit ps please don't suggest i use make-kpkg :) i want to understand the process first before i choose automation. -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
