Hi Group,
I have just downloaded a new Linux kernel, with instructions on how to set
it up..
So far I have -
backed up the original /usr/src/linux-2.4.2-2 directory to linux-2.4.2-2-old
unpacked the new linux-2.4.9.tar.gz file
gone through the make config options
run a "make dep"
run a "make clean"
run a "make zImage"
and now I have ended up with a directory /usr/src/linux with loads of files
including the zImage, this must be the new compiled kernel.
this next bit is where im stumbling a little :)
I have gone into the /etc/lilo.conf, and im faced with this -
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
message=/boot/message
linear
default=Linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-2
label=Linux
read-only
root=/dev/hda3
I presume the "image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-2" refers to the old kernel in some
way, I have taken a look in the new /usr/src/linux directory and the closest
file I can find to this is -
vmlinux
would I replace with this ?
but other than this im a little lost
sorry - this whole thing may seem very vague.
Best Regards
Pete
