I need some input on my first attempt at compiling a new kernel. I am running Caldera's 2.4.2 kernel underlying desktop 3.1. i want to upgrade my kernel to 2.4.19, to get built in USB support so that I can synch my Palm m505, as well as to get the added support of other improvements./usr/src/linux is the traditional place to put the kernel source. Putting it elsewhere could pose problems. Also, are the patches that you applied meant for the 2.4.19 kernel?
Here's what i have tried and which did not work, yet. I downloaded the kernel archive from kernel.org to my $HOME/down/kernel_2.4.19 folder. There, I unpacked it and then ran two patches in that folder, to enable Win4Lin to run on the kernel. After that I ran 'make menuconfig' which seemed to work without any reported errors. When I run 'make dep' though, I get several errors.
In all this, and trying it (compiling) a couple times, and getting to the 'make modules' step, the guidelines I was using said Now, su to root, and I realized that I had compiled everything from make dep forward as root, and it worked just fine, but i realize that likely will cause problems running under that kernel as just a user, so when I go back and compile it as user , it fails with various errors.
Should I be compiling and doing all this in a different folder, i.e., a branch off of /usr/src/ such as /usr/src/linux_2.4.19? Would that make a difference?
