Procedure that works for me on all systems (RH Slack etc) mv .config config (getting rid of the leading . if I want to keep the .config file.) make mrproper. mv config .config (getting it back) make xconfig (or whatever you prefer) make dep make bzImage make modules make modules_install make install
Verify my lilo.conf is straight .. I'm parinoid run lilo and reboot... I haven't had a passive failure in a long time this way... (a few active ones because I did something I shouldn't have done.) Note please that this isn't just a Mandrake thing ... OK maybe the absolute need to do mrproper is. but the original howto I read ages ago talked about this step as well. Otherwise this works even for a Linus kernel. James On Fri, 2003-01-03 at 21:30, David E.
