Hi all:

I appreciate very much if anybody can provide me some help on re-configure and compile a kernel, such as the procedures and the source directory location and the name of the .config file used.

I got the error message saying the Kernel is not configured, but I do have run the command
in 2. as listed below, I must have missed something?



My machine already has 2.6.20.2948 installed, and I want to change the kernel configuration, I am not sure what directory the source code, and .config, that I should use.

1. what is the directory that I should find the correct root for MAKE the kernel source code: Is it /usr/src/linux-2.6.X/Build/ or is it /usr/src/kernel/...2.6.20.2948?

2.  if I do a make O=/home/name/build/kernel  menuconfig
What will happen? Is a .config file producted? If so, where is it stored? What directory I need to copy the .config file to before I compile the kernel?

3. if I run the following to compile a kernel, will it store both the kernel binary
    image and module binary files to the directory set by O =

    make O=/home/name/build/kernel

4.  What does the modules_insall and install do?
    copy the bzImage to the O= location?
