Hi!
You can look at
<http://www.redhat.com/linux-info/ldp/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html>
or follow the steps with which I have successfully
upgraded the Kernel from 2.2.16 to 2.4.1 using PCQuest
CDROM.
Linux Kernel How to :
1.Log in as or su to `root', and cd to /usr/src
2.Rename the directory /usr/src/linux to say
/usr/src/linuxversion...
3. Make certain that there is no linux directory in
/usr/src
4.bz2cat linux-x.y.z.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
5. make xconfig
6. make dep
7. make clean
8. man nohup ( not needed)
9. nohup make bzImage &
10. tail -f nohup.out(not needed)
11. cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage
/boot/bzImage.jamesraju.15Apr2001
12. edit /etc/lilo.conf file and put these lines -
image=/boot/bzImage.jamesraju.15Apr2001
label=james
root=/dev/hda1
read-only
13. lilo
14. lilo -q
The following steps are not required if you don't need
boot disk.
15. bash# cd /usr/src/linux
16. bash# make bzdisk
See also mkbootdisk -
17. bash# rpm -i mkbootdisk*.rpm
18. bash# man mkbootdisk
A complete howto is available at the following URL:
<http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html>
Hope with this you will be able to do. I have done it
on much inferior machine.
Regards
Ravi Kumar
