 | Compiling Linux Kernel |
 I have included 2 different sections on compiling linux kernel. There's a slight difference between 2.4 and 2.6 kernel. Please follow the one that apply to your current kernel.
For 2.4 Kernel
1. Apply patch
a. cd /usr/src/linux
b. bzip2 -dc /usr/src/patch-2.4.1.bz2 | patch -p1
2. Backup .config
3. make mrproper
4. make menuconfig “or” make oldconfig
5. make dep
6. make clean (Clean object files)
7. make bzImage
8. make modules
9. make modules_install
10. mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.0.img 2.6.0 (replace 2.6.0 with kernel version)
Note: On some version, like suse 9.0 the command has to be:
”mkinitrd -k vmlinux-VERSION -i initrd-VERSION”
11. cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-KERNEL_VERSION
12. cp System.map /boot/System.map-KERNEL_VERSION
13. ln -s /boot/System.map-KERNEL_VERSION /boot/System.map
Note: 10-13 maybe replaced with “make install”
14. Check /etc/grub.conf or /etc/lilo.conf to see if "make install" has made the appropriate changes to the file.
For 2.6 Kernel
1. Apply patch
a. cd /usr/src/linux
b. bzip2 -dc /usr/src/patch-2.4.1.bz2 | patch -p1
2. Backup .config
3. make mrproper
4. make menuconfig “or” make oldconfig
5. make clean (Clean object files)
6. make bzImage
7. make modules
8. make modules_install
9. mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.0.img 2.6.0 (replace 2.6.0 with kernel version)
Note: On some version, like suse 9.0 the command has to be:
”mkinitrd -k vmlinux-VERSION -i initrd-VERSION”
10. cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-KERNEL_VERSION
11. cp System.map /boot/System.map-KERNEL_VERSION
12. ln -s /boot/System.map-KERNEL_VERSION /boot/System.map
Note: 10-13 maybe replaced with “make install”
13. Check /etc/grub.conf or /etc/lilo.conf to see if "make install" has made the appropriate changes to the file.
