Hello all,
Current system: kernel 2.2.5-22 on i686 (Celeron 333)
Following the Linux Kernel HOWTO, I've gone through the following steps:
Obtained .tar.gz file for the 2.2.13 kernel
tar zxvf in /usr/src
make menuconfig
Note: I did not add soundcard modules for my SB, probably have to do
this again. I didn't enable PnP, though the BIOS supports this. Looking at
the Sound-HOWTO, this seems like it might solve my soundcard issue. My old
kernel had the sb, uart401, sound, soundlow, and soundcore modules loaded. Also
didn't load most option as modules, although I've heard non-modular kernel is
more secure, though it wastes RAM
reviewed the Makefile
make dep
make clean
make bzdisk
configured lilo thus:
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.13-20
label=linux
root=/dev/hda7
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-22
label=linux.old
root=/dev/hda7
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15
label=linux.old2
root=/dev/hda7
read-only
(the extra lines are for old kernels, to be safe)
cp bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.13-20
Results: With the floppy, I boot to the 2.2.13-20 kernel. Several services
don't load due to kernel mismatch (nor does sound), but most things work. I'm
typing on the system at this moment. Without the floppy, it boots (and sound
and all services work) to the 2.2.5-22 kernel.
Side note: I used rpm to piecewise upgrade my 6.0 distribution to 6.1, except
for the kernel. My system now says its a 6.1 installation, though when I tried
to run the upgrade option from the install disk/CD it wants 186MB of disk space
(my 500MB / is 94% used ... /opt is empty, not sure what's taking up space).
Doing lsmod shows no modules loaded. So, after I compile a decent kernel,
what's the missing step to get Linux to read it from disk?
Thanks,
