The source, if you installed it, will be in /usr/src/linux-2.4 (actually a
symlink to 2.4.18-3 :^)
>From there:
make mrproper # cleans up any old stuff laying about
cp configs/kernel-2.4.18-i686-smp.config .config # Copy one of
redhats configs as a starting point
make menuconfig/xconfig # xconfig if your running x, menuconfig from
a console
-- Run through whatever changes you need to make; remember, RH
builds a REALLY generic kernel :^)
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
make install
Now, before you reboot, edit lilo.conf. I like:
prompt
timeout=200 # give yourself more time to catch it
default=linux
boot=/dev/sda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
linear
# clone these 5 lines from the existing setup
image=/boot/vmlinuz # This is the main thing to change, "make install" links
this to the latest kernel
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-3smp.img
read-only
root=/dev/sda4 # This is my root, might not be yours
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-3smp
label=redhat-smp # Changed from "linux", lets you boot stock
redhat if needed
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-3smp.img
read-only
root=/dev/sda4
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-3
label=redhat-up # Also changed to match above
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-3.img
read-only
root=/dev/sda4
Once thats done, run lilo to update the MBR and reboot. A bit quick and
dirty, but thats the framework

Subject: Kernel update
I am running RedHat 7.3 on a VA Linux FullOn 2250 server. It has a Mylex
DAC960 A150 RAID controller. Now RedHat ships with a driver, but my system
hangs when loading the driver. I have booted into "rescue" mode from the CD
and I want to install the updated driver and patch for the Mylex card,
however when I follow the directions for installation, I cannot find my
source tree under /usr/src (e.g. I cannot find the specified folders or
files under that directory).
Can someone please help me with the steps needed to find the kernel source
tree, recompile the kernel, and modify LILO?
Thank you,
Chris
