hi,

kernel compilation is pretty easy. Just see any kernel compile howto for more details.


I am just giving some brief steps.


1. download a stable kernel source from any good mirror site like www.kernel.org


2. Unzip the source tar in one directory


3. cd into that directory


4. make clean


5. make mrproper 


these two steps will free memory


6. make xconfig but b4 that savethe old configure.in file


here u need to customize ur settings


7. make dep // for fixing dependencies


8. make bzImage


9. look for bzImage in ./arch/i386/boot directory if ur sys is 386 based


10 copy it  in /boot


11 make entry in lilo or grub


12 create a ramdiskimage if grub is there using mkinitrd


13. save changes n reboot.


it will show on boot time.


 


bye,


nikhil

Dear all,

Upon requst of one of my fellow, I installed Mandrake
9.0 on his PC, having internal modem as Motorola.
Previously, I came to know from one of our fellow at
ILUGD that now we have driver (Motorola Modem
Internal) available for this and subsequently, I
downloaded the driver from the links given by him. 

If any one of you remember, for the successful
operation of the modem, this guy told us that one has
to compile the kernel after installation of its
driver. So many times I asked this guy, to tell me
about how we may compile the kernel, but, I did not
get any reply from him. If he gets my msg. I would
request him to pl. help me in giving knowledge about
kernel compilation. Alternatively, I would also
request to other fellows on ILUGD community to pl.
help me if someone possesses the knowledge about
kernel compilation for which I shall be very much
thankful to him.

best regards,

malkiat
