What I did was d/l kernel 2.2.1, from a mirror of (I think)
ftp.kernel.org... they have a list of mirrors at www.kernel.org, and
there's a Kernel HOWTO installed on your system (well, if you installed
extra documentation) in /usr/doc/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.
That'll tell you pretty much everything that you need... it's about a
13mb download, takes 1:15:00 on a 56K v.90 modem.
When you download it, you'll mv it to /usr/src, like this:
# mv ./linux-2.2.1.tar.gz /usr/src/linux-2.2.1.tar.gz
Then you'll do this:
# rm linux
// 'linux' in RH 5.2 is a symbolic link to
// 'linux-2.0.36'... rm the link.
# tar -xzpvf linux-2.2.1.tar.gz
Then, when that's done...
# mv linux linux-2.2.1
# ln -s linux-2.2.1 linux
# cd linux
# make menuconfig
At this point, you're going to configure every option that you'll want for
your system... APM is in here, with sound, SCSI, IDE, etc.
You can select things that are compiled in as compared to modularized,
etc.
Modularize AMAP if you can, it will result in a smaller Kernel (larger
kernel == bzImage == some problems, sometimes).... THen you'll do
something like this:
# make dep
# make zImage
// if make zImage fails, then:
# make bzImage
# make modules
# make modules_install
# cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage /boot
// may be bzImage
# cd /etc ; vi lilo.conf
Change the lilo.conf file to add the new kernel (like this:)
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/bzImage # this is the new kernel
label=linux22 # this is the thing you type @ lilo: prompt
root=/dev/hda3 # this is the partition that it's on
read-only # you have to have this!
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36-0.7 # this is the old kernel
label=linux # see above
root=/dev/hda3 # see above
read-only # see above
other=/dev/hda1 # this is my w95 partition
label=dos # see above
table=/dev/hda # i dunno what that is
That (hopefully) should get you running.
