What exactly you want to do? If you just want to learn linux, I'd recommend you to try installing Gentoo (www.gentoo.org) using its Handbook: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/
I believe it is a valuable step-by-step basic guide on how to install gnu/linux and understand how it works (not only the kernel, but the entire system) from scratch. --Henrique Rodrigues http://www.dcc.ufmg.br/~hsr On Thu, Jan 10, 2013 at 8:09 PM, Tushar Dave <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > On Fri, Jan 11, 2013 at 9:03 AM, Ganesh B <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hello, >> >> Building a install-able build for linux Kernel, that is it. >> >> I have done these: >> $ make help >> $ make ARCH=x86 defconfig <<<This is incorrect you need to give a >> defconfig file name example for arm the configs are in >> > KERNEL_SOURCE_TREE/arch/arm/configs > >> $ make ARCH=x86 << once the config is done properly you dont need to >> give the ARCH option >> >> $ make ARCH=x86 module_install >> gave error nothing to make >> >> $ make ARCH=x86 install << command is *make modules_install install* >> gave error lilo needs to to be installed. >> >> The kernel is built (for all processor types along with multiprocessor >> support as well), vmlinux.iso and bzimage.iso is there, the libraries are >> built, modules need to be configured though with grub/ lilo.
