I've seen this question alot, recently, so here's how _I_ recompile _my_
system...
first of all, this is how my /boot directory is set up... Any differences
between mine and yours will
have to be reflected in he recompile steps.
/boot/System.map is a soft link to System.map-2.2.16
/boot/module-info is a soft link to module-info-2.2.16
/boot/vmlinuz is a soft link to vmlinuz-2.2.16
Now, on to the recompile process...
make mrproper (note, this will erase your config file, so you may want to
save a backup)
make (x | menu)config
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
mv /lib/modules/2.2.16 /lib/modules/2.2.16-old
make modules
make modules_install
mv /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.2.16.img 2.2.16-3
cp /usr/src/linux/System.map /boot/System.map-2.2.16
cp /boot/module-info-2.2.16-3 /boot/module-info-2.2.16
Now, edit /etc/lilo.conf (This is how mine looks - LINUX only)
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=30
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16
label=linux
root=/dev/hda12
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.16.img
read-only
Now that you've updated the pointers in lilo.conf, run "lilo" (I belive its
in /usr/sbin, but I wouldn't swear to that)
reboot, & the system should have the new kernel in....
I don't leave an option in the lilo.conf for the old kernel, as I have a
boot disk I can use if the new kernel doesn't work...
